Minhacü'ş-şehade(linguistic features-text)

This study aims at trancribing and describing the features of the text ?MinhÀcü?s-SehÀde? written in Old Anatolian Turkish in between 13th and 15th centuries. The text is a translated form of ?Mesâriü?l-Esvâk?, written originally in arabic language by Sehâbeddîn brâhim Dımeskî. It is known that there is another translation called ?FezÀilü?l-CihÀd by Bâkî. It is significant to notice that as the first transcription into Latin alphabet, this study introduces the text to the literature. After transcribing the text into the latin alphabet, the first chapter gives a detailed analysis of the script of the text. The second chapter consists of the phonological analysis with phonetic features. The third and the last describes the morphological features of the text.
