This collection is comprised of papers submitted to the 3rd International Online Language Conference (IOLC) held in September 2010. IOLC 2010 was a two-day conference which aimed to provide a forum for academics, practitioners, experts and students to debate current international issues and challenges in the broad area of language learning and teaching. This annual world-renowned conference takes place over the internet, allowing participants to save accommodation and flight expenses and at the same time helping to save our planet by reducing CO2 emissions. All submitted papers went through a double blind review process before a decision was made. This was to ensure the quality level of the conference is kept high.

The Genesis of the Turks

This book suggests a new theory on the origins and Urheimat of the Turks within the context of Central Eurasia and, more properly, the South Urals, by exploring the relations of the Turkic language with the Altaic, Uralic and Indo-European languages and by referring to historical, genetic and archaeological sources. The book shows that the elements that started the making of the Turkic ethno-linguistic entity were also shared by the regions where the later Hungarians would emerge, and that the consolidation of their identity seems to be related to the emergence and rise of the Sintashta culture. It argues that the fertile lands and suitable climatic conditions, together with the coming of agriculture likely at the end of the 3rd millennium BC, allowed them to increase their population.

There are over 275 Ottoman Turkish and Çaĝatay manuscripts in Canada, including more than 200 in the collection of Professor Eleazar Birnbaum. These are remarkable in terms of age (mostly 15th to 17th century) and subject range. The descriptions in this catalogue are unusually detailed: they include author, title, subject, contents, first and last words, date of manuscript, calligraphy, foliation, dimensions, and the location of similar manuscripts elsewhere. Among other special features are details of watermark designs in the paper (useful for dating undated manuscripts), descriptions of seals and notes of previous owners, and many colour illustrations. The catalogue also describes all Turkish manuscripts in the three other small Canadian collections: at the University of Toronto, McGill University (Montreal), and the Royal Ontario Museum.

Crimean Tatar Folktales

This volume contains Crimean Tatar folklore texts that had been collected by the noted Hungarian Turkologist Ignác Kúnos during World War I, specifically from Russian Muslim prisoners of war in Hungarian camps. The collection consists of 38 fairy tales and a partial version of the Chora-batir epic. The tales featuring padishahs, their sons, and naive boys, exhibit the enchanting diversity of Crimean Tatar folk imagination. The introductory study delves into linguistic aspects, then the next chapter explicates the transcription system’s phonetic nuances. It is followed by an English translation, which reflects Kúnos’ Hungarian translation in a much ameliorated and revised form. A sizable trilingual (Crimean Tatar–English–Russian) glossary follows covering the entire Crimean Tatar material collected by Kúnos. It becomes evident that dialectal features cannot be sharply separated across the tales since the Crimean dialects are highly mixed in character, distinguished only by the different proportions of northern (Kipchak) and southern (Oghuz) elements. The present volume, while preserving valuable pieces of Crimean Tatar folklore and offering linguistic insights, also opens a unique window into a distant time and culture.

This book explores the widespread mass conversions to Christianity and Islam that took place in Europe and Asia in the ninth to eleventh centuries. Taking a comparative perspective, contributors explore the processes at work in these conversions. Focusing on Christianity and Islam, it contrasts religious conversion in the period with earlier conversions, including those of Manichaeism in central Asia; Buddhism in east Asia; and Judaism in Khazaria, exploring why conversions to Christianity and Islam led to centralized political structures.

This book consists of fifteen chapters. In this collection of academic research reviews, we embark on an illuminating journey through a tapestry of societal, educational, economic, and behavioral dimensions. Each chapter, offering nuanced insights and scholarly examinations. The chapters within this compendium traverse a broad spectrum of subjects, encompassing the multifaceted landscape of contemporary society. From probing the depths of human behavior in the digital realm to scrutinizing educational paradigms and delving into the intricate dynamics of financial ecosystems, these chapters serve as portals into understanding our ever-evolving world. We begin with an exploration into the underpinnings of credibility in the digital age. Simultaneously, we delve into the ideal constructs of primary education, seeking to redefine and refine our approaches to nurturing young minds in an everchanging world. The intersection of consumer behavior and marketing strategies comes into focus as we dissect the phenomenon of compulsive buying, examining its roots in aggressive marketing tactics. Additionally, a comparative analysis of competency-based school administrator training practices in Türkiye and Poland sheds light on diverse educational methodologies. The landscape of motivation in the digital era is explored, particularly concerning high school students and their engagement with social media platforms. Moreover, linguistic nuances are unraveled through an investigation of tense and aspect in Turkish conjugated verbs. Shifting our gaze to matters of finance, we explore innovative alliances in green finance and cash management for a sustainable future in Africa. The transformative role of CFOs amidst technological imperatives and ecological challenges is scrutinized, offering perspectives on navigating the financial revolution. The microcosm of individual financial behavior is dissected, presenting a comprehensive study on personal finance. Cooperative endeavors in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic are scrutinized, shedding light on the differentials of cooperativism in challenging times. The synergy between sustainability, environmental education, and the school of the future is explored, aiming to shape a more conscientious and ecologically aware generation. Furthermore, the nexus between mental health wellbeing, economic growth, and its contextual relevance in Nigeria is meticulously examined. Rounding up this diverse compilation, chapters on strategy implementation, innovation, and the survival of micro, small, and medium enterprises offer invaluable insights into the operational dynamics of businesses in today's world. This book stands as a testament to the indefatigable pursuit of knowledge, aiming not only to understand but also to propel forward the frontiers of social sciences research. We hope that this compilation serves as a catalyst for further inquiry and discourse, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex tapestry of human society. This book has been prepared for academics, researchers, doctoral students and policy makers working in the field of social, human and administrative sciences.
