13. yüzyıl sonu ile 14. yüzyıl başlarında yaşadığı bilinen ve Türk kültür tarihinin en önemli şahsiyetlerinden biri olan Yunus Emre’nin hayatı hakkındaki bilgiler menkıbevi olup kesin değildir. Tasavvufun Anadolu’daki en güçlü temsilcisi, en etkin öncüsü olan Yunus Emre aynı zamanda Türk dilinin gelişmesi, varlığını koruması, bir kültür ve edebiyat dili olmasına da katkıda bulunan büyük bir şairdir. Anadolu Türkçesi, halkın dilini kullanmayı bilhassa tercih eden Yunus’un şiirlerinde güçlü bir ruh kazanmış ve edebî bir dil olma yoluna girmiştir. Yunus Emre tasavvufun Anadolu topraklarında asırlar boyu varlığını koruyacak kalıcı izler bırakarak yayılmasına, Anadolu Türkçesinin de bağımsız bir yazı dili olarak oluşumuna Dîvân ve Risâletü’n-Nushiyye adlı iki büyük eseriyle yön vermiştir. Yunus Emre’nin bu iki eseri, edebî birer başyapıt olmakla birlikte, döneminin söz varlığını ve Türk dilinin o devredeki yapısını ortaya koyması yönüyle dil tarihi bakımından da büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada mesnevi nazım biçimi ve aruz ölçüsüyle yazılmış yaklaşık 600 beyitten oluşan didaktik bir nasihatname olan Risâletü’n-Nushiyye’deki birleşik fiiller tespit edilip sınıflandırılarak hem Yunus Emre’nin Türk diline katkısını bu yolla ortaya koymak hem de Türk gramerinde birleşik fiil konusunun tasnifi hususundaki metodoloji karmaşasına dikkat çekmek amaçlanmaktadır.

Yunus Emre who had lived between at the end of 13th century and at the beginning of the 14th century, is one of the most significant person of Turkish culture and history, and the information about his life is legendary not certain. Yunus Emre, who was the most powerful representative of mysticism in Anatolia and efficient Pioneer, also, was a great poet who had contributed to Turkish language to improve its existence, become a culture and literature language. Anatolian Turkish gained a powerful soul and became literary language in Yunus Emre’s poems in which he, especially, prefered public language. There is no doubt that Yunus Emre was one of who made a great contribution to Western Turkish, which is a section of Oghuz language, to improve as a written language, protect its existence, become a culture and a literary language. With his great works which direct Anatolian Turkish to become as an independent written language, Yunus’ aforementioned works not only enlighten the language of the era when they were written, but also are resources to Turkish history with their phonetic, morphological, syntactic and semactic features. Yunus Emre’s work which has named Risaletu’n-Nushiyye is subject to our research. When it is seen that its syntactic pattern was made with compound verbs, movements in the sentences were expressed with compound verbs and, mostly, they were chosen as verbs. Compound verbs take an important place in Turkish’s prosperous vocabulary. Passing the historical stages, spreading different geographies, growing with the people whom spoke, became the consequences of in need of new words because of the fact that the avaiable ones have not been enough. Languages have lots of different methods to recompense the need of new words. Turkish which has been spoken in a wide geography and has a lot of people to speak with it, its vocabulary has different resources. The major ways of making new words in Turkish language are to make new words with the present base, reviving archaic words, taking words from foreign languages and making compound word.
