abstract:
The paper discusses different fifteen native Yeniseian1 and eleven Altaic loanwords connected to the category of taboo words. Through this semantic category, some linguistic criteria peculiar to the Yeniseian languages and their Altaic elements are presented. The basis of the paper is the comparative (Werner 2002) and etymological dictionaries of the Yeniseian languages (Vajda & Werner: in preparation), and a recently published monograph of the author on the Altaic elements of Yeniseian languages (Khabtagaeva 2019).
