GRAMMAR TERMS OF TURKMEN TURKIC

Turkmen Turkic is in the south-west branch of the Turkic language family. Gagauz and Turkey Turkish constitute the western branch of the south-western Turkic while Azerbaijan and Turkmen Turkic constitute the eastern branch. The Turkmen Turks, which were under the rule of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics from 1884 to 1991, gained their independence in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In Turkmenistan, which was under the rule of the Soviet Union for a while, the influence of Russian Turcology on the language studies on Turkmen Turkic is in question. Therefore, some grammar topics in Turkmen Turkic are dealt in a different way from Turkey Turkish. The density of Turkish words is prominent in the formation of grammatical terms in Turkmen Turkic. Because grammar studies have been dealt according to Russian Turcology for a long time, some of the terms have been taken especially from Russian and and these terms have been used like this for a long time. In this study, around 760 grammatical terms in Turkmen Turkic were determined. For the determination of these terms, dictionaries and grammar works prepared on Turkmen Turkic were used. The works that are used in this study are given in the bibliography.
