Cognition verbs in compilation dictionary

Mental verbs, which occupy an important place in linguistic classifications, are a thematic group of verbs that enable individuals to express their emotions, thoughts, perceptions, and cognitive processes at the linguistic level. After perception verbs, which initiate the mental process, information obtained from the environment is reflected in the mind and forms cognitive verbs that express mental activities. The basis of this study is formed by cognitive verbs that describe cognitive processes such as knowing, learning, remembering, and evaluating that occur in an individual's mental phase. This study was conducted because there are no thesis studies on cognitive verbs in the literature and studies based on Anatolian dialects are limited to articles. In addition, this study will reveal the place and importance of cognitive verbs in Anatolian dialects based on the Türkiye'de Halk Ağzından Derleme Sözlüğü (Compilation Dictionary in Türkiye from Folk Language). In the study, data was first obtained and classified by searching the Türkiye'de Halk Ağzından Derleme Sözlüğü.
