The Problem Of Possesive-Accusative Suffix In Turkish A Case Of The Dede Qorkut


The third person possesive-accusative suffix is one of the main problems of Turkish grammar. A consonant e.g. /n/ there is used between the possesive suffixes and case ending can be directly attached to possessive suffixes especially in the historical texts. The last mentioned form of the third person possesive and accusative suffix has been argued regarding the consonant function in Turcology for a long time. The proposal of this study is to solve the problem by examining nouns that take on suffix the +(s)In in the Dede Qorqut. The majority samples that I collected from Dede Qorqut are being used with transitive verbs and direct object especially in the verses. It seems that this form of the suffix functions as the third person possisive suffix.


Keywords
