This talk presents a corpus-based overview of phenomena related to borrowings and, to a lesser extent, to code-switching, in several Central Siberian languages. The languages include Selkup, Kamas, Dolgan and Nganasan, for which corpora were developed at Hamburg University. The Nganasan Spoken Language Corpus (NSLC) and the Selkup Language Corpus (SLC) were supported by DFG. Three other corpora (Selkup, Kamas and Dolgan) have been developed within the ongoing INEL project. We first compare the proportions of borrowings found in the corpora, depending on part of speech and the borrowing type. For Nganasan and Dolgan, we can also compare the texts of different periods; for Selkup, on the other hand, Northern, Central and Southern dialects can be compared. Although we focus specifically on Russian borrowings, other source languages will also be mentioned, such as the older Turkic borrowings in Kamas which are represented by a few very frequent lexemes. We then proceed to review some phonetic, morphological and syntactic features of borrowings. In particular, nominal plural marking and strategies of verb adaptation will be discussed. We also pay attention to grammatical constructions formed with the help of borrowings, such as Russian davaj, puskaj and nado. As found in other languages of Russia, in such constructions we often find double marking, combining Russian and native markers.
