“…Penzel has revealed the areas where Western ways, cultures, and technology have influenced the country. In the Pashto spoken in Afghanistan, contacts with the intellectual and elite class are the decisive factor in the adaptation of the loanwords (Penzel, 1961). Penzel' s study focused on geographical terms, measures, months, clothing, objects, food, administrative and political terms, scientific and technical vocabulary, motor transport and educational, medical, cultural and social terms.…”

Strategies for incorporating nouns and verbs in code-mixing: the case of Pashto-English bilingual speech

A recurring issue in the analysis of code-mixed speech concerns the strategies for incorporating nouns and verbs. How can nouns and verbs from one language be felicitously incorporated into sentences from another language? This paper analyses this question with a case study of English-Pashto bilingual speech. English nouns appear in determiner phrases marked with Pashto case endings, and English verbs have an associated light verb with Pashto inflections. Code-mixing and lexical borrowing have led to a large amount to indigenized English elements in Pashto. Code-mixing is a device of indigenization whereby Pashto speakers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have adopted and nativized the English elements in their local use.

Present study aims to explore English loanwords into Dhani dialect of Punjabi language. It focuses on which English words have been borrowed and what kind of phonological adaptations they undergo. It is a qualitative and descriptive study. Data were collected through recordings from thirty participants engaged in general conversation in real life situations in Chakwal district of Rawalpindi Division, Punjab province, Pakistan. Participants were selected through simple random sampling technique. Results retrieved from analysis of the collected data show that English loanwords undergo different phonological strategies i-e substitution, addition, epenthesis and deletion. Substitution is the most prominent whereas deletion is the least prominent of all strategies. Analysis also highlights educational implication of the study.

able, weather the area of this lingua franca extended also further eastwards up to the western regions of Eastern/Chinese Turkestan (nowadays Xinjiang). In order to get an idea about the particularities of the vocabulary, I gave it for examination to Dr. Sabohat Hashimova, an Özbek teaching Özbek and Russian at Minzu University in 2013-2014, and Dr. Dilaram Veli, one of my Uyghur students at the same university. The conclusions of both of them were more or less the same. There are a number of words not common to, or not found in, Özbek. Furthermore, the vocabulary was considered old-fashioned, phonologically not always corresponding to "Standard Özbek", cf. for this statement also Jarring (Ja37, pp. 5-20). The verbal forms given by Mackenzie as infinitives are mostly present or past tense forms. (32, xxviii) Özb. aba [Haz. abgha] 'uncle (father's brother)'-Mgh/L 2 abānā [Ar.] 'unser Vater' (W77, p. 110)-cf. Haz. vocabulary under abgha 'id.' and aba 'mother'; Badghisi 1960, p. 34; MYYC p. 90; M38, p. 61*; Sevortjan i, pp. 57-58; TMEN §412; VEWT p. 1 (ursprünglich Lallwort) • Pe. āb ~ [Ar.] ab ~ [Ar.] abū 'father' (St pp. 3, 11); Taj. ab (lit.) 'father, ancestor' (Mir06, p. 23; →), abu/l [Pe.] 'father (with proper names); owner, holder' (id. p. 24); Dari ab ~ âbâ 'Vater' (KiMi78, p. 20); Pšt. ab [Ar.] ~ abā [Ar.] 'father [отец, батюшка]' (As85, p. 19) ~ ab [Ar.] 'father, master, possessor' ~ abā 'a word of endearment to a father' (Rav67, pp. 1, 2); Urd. ab [Ar.] 'father (rare)' ~ abbā [Hi.] 'father, superior; a consummate knave' ~ abū [Ar.] '(used, like ibn, in combination with a following substantive in the genitive, the final ū being shortened in pronouns if the Ar. article precede the substantive) father, originator, author etc.' (Pl pp. 1, 2, 5) • Tu. (VIII) aba ~ apa ~ äbä ~ äpä words of this form, connoting various terms of relationship abound in modern Tu. languages with meanings as various as (1) 'ancestor', (2) 'grandfather', (3) 'grandmother', (4) 'father', (5) 'mother', (6) 'paternal uncle', (7) 'paternal aunt', (8) 'elder brother', (9) 'elder sister', (10) (presumably metaph.) 'midwife'; some, e.g. aba 'paternal uncle', an abbreviation of Mo. abaγa, and other words beginning with ab° etc. are certainly foreign; others, often occurring in only one language group, are of unknown origin. The only early forms seem to be (VIII) apa 'ancestor and (XI/Oghuz) äbä 'mother'. In this early period it is often impossible to be sure whether the vowels are back or front and the consonant voiced or unvoiced (C72, p. 5). Differently Röhrborn states "Uig. apa 'Großvater, Vorfahre männl. Geschlechts'; das Wort ist nur auf männl. Personen bezogen, steht also nicht für äbä" (Rö p. 167)-Trkm. aba (i) 'father, dad/dy', (ii) n. pr.'
