Abstract:

Turkish is a rich language that can meet the same linguistic function with distinct language structures. This richness has quite different usage characteristics in adjunctions. The functional richness of adjunctions is one of the significant criterias of assortment and development of expression of languages. In this respect, determination of the functions concerning adjunctions is important both in language researches and education along with the expression of the richness and development of language. In determination of functional usage characteristics of adjunctions, establishing equivalences between distinct structures may be preferable and it’s one of the methods which could likely to bring astonishing outcomes. This kind of studies could help solve many insoluble problems faced during the researches on Turkish. Especially when we consider the very fact that Turkish is such a language that can meet the same functional language characteristics with many different language structures, then one can easily understand the importance of this method. It’s been observed that some disparate adjunctions were used in similar words – even in identical words - in the very same function during Old Anatolian Turkish era. Participle affix –dUK and derivational affix making noun from noun +lIK can be regarded as patterns of these kind of usages. The use of these adjunctions having the same function could only be possible by determination of equivalent structures. The probability of different outcomes deriving from these usages indicates that it needs a close scrutiny. For this reason in this article, the very fact that participle affix –dUK and derivational affix making noun from noun +lIK have also equivalent usages and functions will be exemplified by Old Anatolian Turkish.
