Interaction of Russian and Turkic Languagesin the Russia-Kazakhstan Borderland
The article deals with the processes of interpenetration of languages which cannot but affect the structure of a modern Eurasian linguistic identity, and reveals the nature of the interference, leading to the appearance of new features in the region- al language of the Russian-Kazakh border areas. Russia's border areas cover the South of the Tyumen region, the Kazakh border region includes North Kazakhstan. The Russian population of the area have consistently assimilated representatives of various peoples living in the region (Khanty, Mansi, Komi, Kazakhs, Tatars etc.), showing an example of a complex half- blood Russian-dominated population. On the example of the speech of local Kazakhs and Russians the authors show how transformations in a modern Eurasian linguistic identity of Russian-Kazakh border areas are going on.
