Collacations of prepositions in Republican novels

Functional words that are not used alone in the syntax but add different meanings to the sentence with the words or word groups they are added to, as well as dependent morphemes that establish structural connections, are called prepositions. Prepositions, which have no meaning when they are alone, have the task of supporting the meaning of the sentence when they are combined with other words. Just like prepositions, words are not randomly arranged in a context. It is seen that some words are used more frequently than others. The association or frequency of use of at least two words has revealed collocational structures. These structures are the "meaningful" associations of words. Since prepositions also become meaningful with the word groups they form together, what kind of results will emerge when the collocational structures of prepositions are examined? Is there a systematic for the words they are added to? The questions will be answered. In this study, the prepositions ait, beri, dair, dek, dolayı, evvel, gibi, göre, için, ile, ilişkin, itibaren, kadar, karşın, nazaran, ötürü, rağmen, taraf, üzere, yana will be scanned in the novels Yaban, Sinekli Bakkal, Saatleri Ayarlama Enstitüsü. The associations of the prepositions words or word groups along with the prefixes added to these groups will be examined according to the frequency-based approach. The findings obtained will be interpreted and evaluated in terms of collocation. We will determine which words or word groups the prepositions tend to form associations with. The data determined will be classified and an attempt will be made to present the general appearance in a table. The information obtained will be concluded.
