Word groups in Dede Korkut Storys

Dede Korkut Stories is a valuable work that represents Turkish language, history, literature and culture. The aim of this thesis is to identify the word groups in the Dresden and Vatican copies of Dede Korkut Stories and to show which type of nomenclature can be used to classify the word groups. The main sources of the research, in which the text scanning method was applied, are Muharrem Ergin's Dede Korkut Kitabı-I-II-Giriş-Metin-Faksimile, Dede Korkut Oğuznameleri prepared jointly by Semih Tezcan and Hendrik Boeschoten, and Leyla Karahan's work entitled Türkçede Söz Dizimi. In this study, general information about the Dede Korkut Stories is given, and the definition, naming, and classification of the word groups are explained in accordance with the opinions of linguists. Then, as a result of the textual analysis of the Dresden and Vatican copies, an attempt is made to examine the word groups. For each word group, examples are given together with the sentences in which they occur. In addition, some of the word groups in Dede Korkut Stories were determined to be of Arabic and Persian origin and were evaluated by being included in the word group classification. With this research, it is concluded that the word groups that make up the syntax enrich the Dede Korkut Stories, which nourish the Turkish language and literature and on which various studies have been conducted to date, in terms of linguistic features.
