Abstract:

In this study, the origin determination of the words kamping, kanyon, kargo, kateter, komodor, kompleks, konteyner and kovboy is examined. For this reason, first of all, what is written in some dictionaries about the words in question was looked at, and their origin data were reviewed. Subsequently, the origins and meanings of these words in various Turkish dictionaries were written. When differences were observed in the information given about the origin, the English and French meanings in the relevant foreign dictionaries were also translated and given together. In addition, the pronunciation forms of the mentioned words in the source language and in foreign languages that were deemed necessary were shown, and these were compared with the pronunciation forms in Turkish. Historical data were obtained according to whether these words were found in the scanned dictionaries or not. In addition to historical data in Turkish and foreign sources such as English and French, semantic and phonological data were also taken into consideration. In this way, it is aimed to correctly detect from which languages the words kamping, kanyon, kargo, kateter, komodor, kompleks, konteyner and kovboy were loaned to Turkish. In terms of the origins of the words kamping, kanyon, kargo, kateter, komodor, kompleks, konteyner and kovboy, which were investigated in this study, it was noticed that sometimes some Turkish dictionaries agree and meet at a common point, and sometimes express different opinions from each other. Therefore, it has been concluded that our views about the origins of the words mentioned are sometimes in line with some dictionaries and sometimes different from some other dictionaries. Their reasons have been explained with the help of historical, semantic and phonological data.
