Russian-Kurdish Homonymy and Paronymy

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the homonymy and paronymy between unrelated languages—Russian and Kurdish (For the purpose of this paper, “Kurdish” refers to the Kurmanji dialect). Russian-Kurdish homonymy has never been considered prior to this paper. Interlanguage homonyms are described in terms of expression (sound) and semantic structure. Over the course of the study, 838 interlingual homonymic pairs were identified. Two explanations for the appearance of interlanguage homonyms are identified: occasional coincidences in language sounds ​​that do not connect each other and non-random coincidences due to changes in the semantics of genetically related same-root words. Based on the structural-semantic analysis of Russian-Kurdish homonyms, this type of homonymy can be considered a phenomenon independent of the bilingual lexical-semantic system.

Russian-Kurdish Homonymy and Paronymy

Öz

This paper is dedicated to the homonymy and paronymy between unrelated languages Russian and Kurdish (For the purpose of this paper, “Kurdish” refers to the Kurmanji dialect). Russian-Kurdish homonymy has never been considered prior to this paper. Interlanguage homonyms are described in terms of expression (sound) and semantic structure. Over the course of the study, 838 interlingual homonymic pairs were identified. Two explanations for the appearance of interlanguage homonyms are identified: occasional coincidences in language sounds ​​that do not connect each other and non-random coincidences due to changes in the semantics of genetically related same-root words. Based on the structural-semantic analysis of Russian-Kurdish homonyms, this type of homonymy can be considered a phenomenon independent of the bilingual lexical-semantic system.
