Converb Suffix {–(Y)Xnca} Used As Archaic In Eastern Thrace Accents With The Function Of Limitation

We can follow how differenly we use converbs from the early Turkish written text on.From the time of Old Turkish to today`s Turkish dialects,converb suffixes have added a number of functions to the verbs by enabling the use of them as adverbs in sentences.In certain circumstances,converbs lost their basic function(s)or transferred this/these to another structure. {–(y)XncA} suffix which has been used since the historical times of Turkish,whose one of the functions is limitation and which gives the meaning of {–(y)XncA+(y)a kadar/dek/değin} has lost this function in Turkey`s Turkish and transferred it to a different structure,{–(y)XncA+(y)a kadar/dek/değin}.In Rumelian accents, the {–(y)XncA} converb suffix conveying the meaning of –(y)XncA+(y)a kadar/dek/değin} has kept this function in the way it is used in historical Turkish dialects.In our study,the focus will be on this subject.
