DERLEME SÖZLÜĞÜ’NDE YANLIŞ TANIMLANMIŞ BAZI KELİMELER ÜZERİNE
ON SOME WORDS MISIDENTIFIED IN “DERLEME SÖZLÜĞÜ”

Summary/Abstract: Derleme Sözlüğü is the most comprehensive and the most important work in the field of Turkey Turkish dialects vocabulary. But according to lexicography principles, there are some mistakes in this important study. One of the important mistakes seen in the Derleme Sözlüğü is the definition mistakes. Many words in the Dictionary have been incorrectly defined. It is seen that the definitions in some items are insufficient. Many items have been explained with a very general expression, and in some items there is ambiguity. The most important reason for misidentification is that compilers are not experts. Compilers have tried to interpret incomprehensible words in context and have inferred from that context mistaken meanings. The sentences given to testify the headwords clearly show that some words are misidentified. Different variants of the word also play an important role in detecting misidentifications. There are many misidentified items in the dictionary because those who prepared Derleme Sözlüğü did not pay enough attention to the witness sentences and could not notice the different variants of the words. It is a must to reorganize the Derleme Sözlüğü which is the most important work in the field of dialect research.
