Functional Parts of Speech in Dialects and Auxiliary Words of the Azerbaijani Language and Their Mutual Integration into Common Turkic Languages

Abstract

The article is devoted to the Azerbaijani language dialects, which were the source of the formation of the Azerbaijani language and played a significant role in the development of some Turkic literary languages. The article deals with the issues of historical morphology of the Turkic languages. In these dialects, the lexico-grammatical class of words (parts of speech) is analyzed, particularly the functional parts of speech as semantic words that do not have lexical meanings. However, their meanings are still manifested in the grammatical semantics of the sentence. This pattern has found continuity in the development of literary Turkic languages both in diachrony and synchrony, which confirms the integration of the functional parts of speech of dialects and literary languages. The comparative analysis of phonetic changes of service words in the Azerbaijani language’s dialects is also important in the article.
