Ruined Words, Evasive Referents, and Emic Phonemes in Mongolian Riddles: Part 2

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Examining two major corpuses of Mongolian riddles, references continually arose to a particular word category. Termed evdersen u'g (literally: 'ruined words'), these words were semantically evasive, their meaning far from obvious, particularly joined tothe other 'obfuscating techniques' of Mongolian riddles, such as ellipsis. This paper, presented in two parts, examines these 'ruined words' from several different viewpoints. The relatively high frequency of such words in the Mongolian riddle corpus also seems related to a degree of phonetic lability in these riddles - and perhaps in spoken Mongolian as a whole - resulting in variations of riddles that are phonetically very close, yet nonetheless manifesting subtle shifts of meaning. In addition, frequent occurrence of the words known as iconopoeia (du'rsleh u'g, literally, 'image-making words', 'depicting words') is found, as these words are also subject to distortion in riddles. In the first part of this paper, a preliminary attempt
