| Research Abstract |
In these three years I have published a long article entitled “Epistolary Formulae of the Old Uighur Letters from the Eastern Silk Road (Part 1 and 2)” both in Japanese and in English. This study offers a present stage of my work, with a focus on the formulae and specialterms that served as criteria for the selection of letters. In order to pick out as many letters as possible from among the Old Uighur documents held by the institutes, libraries, and museums around the world, it is first necessary to analyze complete or almost complete letters, identify the special terms distinctive of letters, recover on this basis letters from among even small fragments, and by repeating this process ultimately educe the formulae and conventional phrases used only in letters. This study corresponds to the research volume of the Corpus of the Old Uighur Letters from the Eastern Silk Road, which I am currently preparing for publication.
