Abstract:

The studies and investigations carried on Anatolian dialects takes important place in evaluation and understanding of phonetical and morphological properties of Turkish. Negative, present continuous tense sentences in Mersinbelen (in Aydın) dialect is stated in "-yomaz" form. This form is also seen in the negative, present continuous tense statements of a few of Anatolian dialects. In this statement, the presenceof stem fusion of an abilitative expression could also be considered. Since the dialects' vocabulary constitutes the the vocabulary of the language, it is better to analyze the dialects in terms of vocabulary. The Old Turkish word "sıgıt" is being used in Mersinbelen dialect in the same meaning and form as Orkhon inscriptions.
