Özet:
Turkmen Turkish takes place in East section of Oghuz Group of Turkish.
When compared with the other dialects which are Group of Oghuz, it attracts
attention with getting literary language in late period, containing primary
long vowels, some phonetic and morfological differences which arise from
effect of Chagatay. Morever, gerund structures which are most crowded in
number and most complex functionally of verbals which have an important
place in understanding the Turkish Language’s being able to have person
expression by means of possesive suffix makes Turkmen Turkish different
from Turkish. Gerunds which adding to verbs for the function of adverb with
time, duration, reason, mood and condition used in Turkish, haven’t been
added personal ending since old Turkic. While person expression is only
seemed derived gerunds which comes from verbal nouns and participles in
Turkish, both derived gerunds and simple gerunds which different from other
Group of Oghuz Turkish dialects have person expression by means of
possesive suffixes in Turkmen Turkish. Features of gerunds being able to
have person expression in Turkmen Turkish which we centred in our study
are mentioned but not examined independently in former studies. For this
reason, aim of this study is to explain gerunds which have person expression
in Turkmen Turkish.
