Abstract

Compound verbs, which are one of the problematic topics in Turkish, are classified in my study under the names «noun + auxiliary verb» and «adverb + auxiliary verb». In the dictionary I analyzed, 72 examples of compound verbs formed with the element noun + auxiliary verb were found. Fifty-four examples of compound verbs formed with adverbs + auxiliary verbs were found. Compound verbs formed with verbal verbs could not be identified. By scanning more than one text in Uyghur Turkish, I can detail the topic of compound verbs and reinforce it with many new examples. Compound verbs can be grouped under one heading. Adjective-verbs, adverb-verbs and nouns (i.e., gerunds) become nouns due to their constructive function as suffixes. For this reason, we can include all compound verbs in compound verbs formed by the noun + verb scheme.
