A STUDY OF THE OLD TURKİSH WORD YIP, AND THE WORDS İN İTS CONTEXT FİELD BAĞ, URUK, ÖRGEN, URGAN, ARKAN

Abstract

Evaluation of language from historical dialects towards contemporary dialects can be traced through studying the evaluation of specific words and the context conveyed through these words. This study while relying on this methodology focuses on Old Turkish word yıp and words bağ, uruk, örgen, urgan, arkan. Those words are scrutinized phonological, morphological, and semantically. This study primarily focuses on the etymology of words, homophony due to change of alphabet, semantic contamination, semantic restriction, through different historical periods. The Old Turkish uruk "rope" has been mixed with the word urug "family, lineage" from the result of changing alphabet, and then they have become homophonic. There was a conflict between two different meanings and the word uruk has forgotten in contemporary dialects. Bağ, urgan, örgen and arkan have gained the meaning "ip" due to semantic extension, and these words are still used in contemporary Turkish dialects.
