It has been observed that students of Kazakh Linguistics, to whom I
lectured Turkish lessons in L. N. Gumilev University Faculty of Linguistics
during twelve days in November and December of 2016, produced
structures different from standard Turkish structures in their wording of
Turkish sentences which they created by using specified mode/ tense /person
formulas during their practices of the lessons. Students took Standard
Turkish lessons from the academicians whose native language is Standard
Turkish but having previously left Turkey as well as the academicians
whose native language is Kazakh Turkish and having returned to Kazakhstan
after staying in Turkey for educational purposes for more than
ten years. In a study adopting especially the use and semantic features of
verbal adverbs, sentences which are formed through the style affirmation
function of the verbal adverb suffixes which are, “-p” , “-ArAk” and “-A”
in Turkish (meaning “by” / “as” / “because of” in Turkish language) have
been exemplified and students whose native language is Kazakh Turkish
have been asked to make similar sentences in Standard Turkish. Students
exemplified the following sentences based on their previous knowledge of
Standard Turkish: Müzikleri çok dinleyip besteci oldum “I became a composer
by listening to music much” / Derste uzun dinleyerek az söyledim “I
talked less as listening much at the lessons” / Çalışa çalışa arkadaşlarımı
da unuttum “I ignored my friends by dint of working” / Ödevlerini bitirip
uyumaya gitti-odasına çekildi “He went to bed (let himself into his room)
as he finished his homework” / Onun uyua uyua başı(n) ağırdı “He had
a headache because of sleeping” / Sular aka aka her yer berbat oldu
“Everywhere was spoilt as the water leaked”. It is seen that there is a
deviation from the standard structures of Standard Turkish with regard to
semantics and structure in these sentences. In this deviation; it has been
analyzed whether the questions “Do the uses of verbal adverbs which are
different between Kazakh Turkish and Standard Turkish have any impact
on this?” or “How do the students use verbal adverb structures in both
dialects?” are effective or not; and it has been examined which verbal
adverbs are commonly and practically used in both dialects by touching
upon this issue from a historical perspective. The study will analyze the
reasons of deviation from the standard structure with reference to verbal
adverb suffixes used in Kazakh Turkish and their functions; and try to
reveal how these standard structures can be used in comparison with the
usages in Standard Turkish.
