Azerbaycan Türkçesi Sözlüğündeki İkilemeler Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Abstract

Azerbaijani Turkish is the name of the written language that is located in the eastern part of Southwest Turkish and developed in this field. Based on Oghuz language, Southwest Turkish, which has been used from the 13th century until today, has been divided into Ottoman Turkish and Azerbaijani Turkish in time. Azerbaijani Turkish forms the Eastern Oghuz language. The duplications that enrich the expression possibilities of our language, reinforce the meaning, increase the expression power, are the elements that are formed by the repetition of the same word or whose meanings are close or opposite to each other or by the similarity of sounds. Reduplications, which are one of the most important elements of the Turkish language showing the richness of expression, have been seen since the earliest historical periods of Turkish and are frequently used in contemporary Turkish dialects today. This study includes the analysis of the duplications in the "Explanatory Dictionary of the Azerbaijani Language" in terms of structure and meaning. Definitions and studies on reduplications have been explained and they have been classified in terms of structure and meaning. Due to the high number of duplications detected, some examples of duplications were included and the study was supported with numerical data. In addition, the archaic features of some duplications are emphasized in the conclusion of the study.
