Divân u Lugati’t-Türk İle Kumuk Türkçesinin Yalancı Eş Değerler Bakımından Karşılaştırılması

Turkish, which is considered to be one of the oldest cultural languages in the world, has been spoken in a very wide geography throughout its long history and has been divided into many dialects, most of which have become languages today. Due to dialectization, some sound, shape and word features in the main mass have also changed over time. In this study, the Kumuk Turkish vocabulary, which is one of the dialects of Turkish, will be discussed. The words in Divan u Lûgati’t-Türk, which is the oldest source of Turkish vocabulary, will be compared with the Kumuk Turkish vocabulary and words that have undergone semantic differences will be identified. In this study, in which false equivalent words that are the same in terms of sound and structure or are known to come from the same source with regular sound equivalences in dialects but do not overlap in meaning at all will be identified in the examination section, brief information about Divan u Lûgati’t-Türk, the concept of false equivalent, Kumuks and Kumuk Turkish is also provided. It has been determined that many words identified in Kumuk Turkish have acquired very different meanings, generally through semantic expansion, from Divan u Lûgati’t-Türk to the present day. Words that differ in form due to regular sound changes between Divan u Lûgati’t-Türk and Kumuk Turkish and whose semantic features do not coincide with their usage in Divan u Lûgati’t-Türk have also been included in the study.
