Kırım Tatar Türkçesinde Kelime Grupları
Word Groups in Crimean Tatar Turkish

Summary/Abstract: Crimean Tatar Turkish is the language spoken by Crimean Turks scattered across Uzbekistan, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Crimea, and many other parts of the world. Crimean Tatar Turkish belongs to the Black Sea-Caspian branch of the Kipchak group of Turkic dialects. When examining the syntax studies published in Crimea on Crimean Tatar Turkish, it is noticeable that the treatment of word groups differs from that in Turkish. In Crimean Tatar syntax studies, word groups are referred to as ‘word clusters’. Word clusters consist of a head word and a dependent word. The main element is the head word, while the auxiliary element is expressed as the dependent word. Word clusters are linked to each other directly or via a subordinate word. Word collections are categorized into five main headings: according to their means of connection, their arrangement, the type of the opening word, the methods of connection, and the syntactic relationship between their words. In our study, we have attempted to provide information about the understanding of word groups in Crimean Tatar grammar. First, the definition of word groups and the history of studies on word groups were discussed. Subsequently, word groups were classified and explained with examples extracted from texts.
