Abstract:

ABSTRACT Turkic languages are in the agglutinative language family group in terms of structure. When creating a new word in Turkic languages, suffixes are used. Formation suffixes establish a continuous relationship between nouns and verbs. The most important aspect of these suffixes added to the beginning or the end of the word is that it establishes a relationship with the root and reveals a change in meaning and task in the word. The semantic classification of the derived words is as important as the consistency of root and affix harmony in word formation. In the semantic classifications made so far, semantic attributes have been given in a very scattered and conventional way (e.g. concrete-abstract, noun-adjective). This situation is also valid for the deverbal noun suffix from the verb {-mA}. In this article, it is aimed to group the nouns derived with the {-BA, -mA} suffix in Kazakh Turkic by considering their structure and meaning features and to determine the meaning groups in which these suffixes are effective in derivation. All the examples in the semantic classification were compiled from Türkiye Türkçesi-Kazak Türkçesi, Kazak Türkçesi-Türkiye Türkçesi Sözlüğü, prepared by K. Koç, A. Bayniyazov, V. Başkapan (2009). In this direction, the article is limited to the deverbal nouns derived with the suffix {-BA, -mA} in Kazakh Turkish, and the words made from verbs with the suffix {-BA, -mA} in Kazakh Turkish will be shown with the semantic classification suggested by us. The data obtained in our study will be mentioned in the conclusion part statistically. No comparison will be made with historical or contemporary Turkic languages for the examples identified.
