An analysis of syntax study in Nazan Bekiroğlu's novel Kehribar Geçidi

Language is the set of rules governing the arrangement of words within a specific framework. It is a living entity with its own unique rules and evolves within these rules. Culture, which is among the factors influencing the structure and formation of language, is passed down through generations thanks to language. Many factors that constitute culture are within the scope of language examination. This is evident both in oral and written contexts, particularly in literary works such as novels, which hold significant importance. In today's context, specific language features of Turkish language are becoming clearer through findings obtained from novels, stories, poems, and other texts. Through these works, it becomes easier to observe the structures and characteristics specific to the language. Additionally, it is possible to discover subjective expressions, different structures, and creatively reconstructed specific words and actions within the context of the author's narrative style. Nazan Bekiroğlu, who holds an important place in Turkish literature, is also a noteworthy figure in terms of language usage. The language and style reflected in the author's works are significant for examination within the framework of the Turkish language. Therefore, the author's work "Kehribar Geçidi" will be examined within the framework of the language features of Turkish. The study consists of four parts.

Some observations will be presented based on "the word groups" in second part, "judgement groups" in the third part, "sentence diversities" in fourth part about the syntax of the novel.
