Beschreibung
This work presents a detailed and documented list of Turkish loanwords found in Greek as spoken in Crete, from the time of the Cretan War (1645–1669) until today. The material presented comes from dictionaries, texts, and oral speech, with entries amounting to a total number of 4000 approximately. It includes words that come directly from Turkish, but also those that followed, through derivation or composition. This corpus is a solid basis for the study of the impact of the Turkish language on the Cretan idiom and the Greek language in general. The first edition of this work was published by the Vikelaia Municipal Library of Heraklion (Crete, Greece) in 2014.
