Structural and Functional Analysis of Verbal Groups in Sabahattin Ali's Madonna in a Fur Coat

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the verbal noun, participle, and gerund groups in Sabahattin Ali’s novel Madonna in a Fur Coat from structural and functional perspectives. The study was conducted within the framework of a qualitative research approach using a case study design and document analysis method. The data source of the research consists of the novel Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali. The verbal noun, participle, and gerund groups identified in the text were transferred to an electronically created database and analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed a total of 4,674 verbal groups in the novel. Of these, 46.08% are verbal noun groups, 34.83% are participle groups, and 19.08% are gerund groups. The results indicate that these structures play a significant role in conveying the psychological states of the characters, ensuring narrative continuity, and reflecting the major themes of the novel such as love, loneliness, and alienation. Furthermore, they support the flow of narration, contribute to a more effective expression, enrich the text, and perform various linguistic functions. Consequently, verbal groups function not only as syntactic structures but also as significant elements contributing to the semantic and thematic depth of the novel.
