Abstract

This study focuses on the process of adapting West Old Turkic loanwords and the possibilities for teaching this topic. The first, theoretical part of this paper provides a brief overview of research on the Turkish and Hungarian affinity and on Turkic loanwords, followed by a summary of the main results of quantitative research examining the adaptation processes. The second part of this paper presents tasks applicable in teaching the subject area of language history in schools, which were developed based on the results of the research mentioned above. Their aim is to help with understanding the process of lexical borrowing, to help memorize some loanwords, to stimulate interest in exploring the history of Hungarian and other languages, and possibly in learning about modern Turkish language and culture.
