COMPARATIVE EXAMINATION OF REDUPLICATIONS IN RUSSIAN AND TURKISH VOCABULARY

Idioms, proverbs, denotations, and reduplications make up the language's vocabulary. The abundance of a language's vocabulary is directly correlated with its level of development and richness. Within the vocabulary, reduplication means not only the repetition of two words in a row, but also the repetition of the sound and morpheme properties of the words that make up it in harmony. As pattern structures, denotations are linguistic components that are commonly employed to strengthen meaning and improve expressive power. These components not only assume the role of reinforcement when in use, but they also represent the cultural norms of that community. These structures have existed in Russian and Turkish languages from ancient times to the present day and have become an important issue addressed by researchers over time. Denotations have gained an important place in both languages, but it is seen that these elements are used more frequently in Turkish in Türkiye compared to Russian. It is the study's focus, where words are grouped together according to their structural and semantic characteristics to form their reduplication structures. In addition in the study, it is aimed to compile the reduplications in Russian and Turkish vocabulary, to classify and examine them in terms of their formation, to reveal the common aspects of these structures of the two languages and to contribute to the comparative language studies to be carried out. Thanks to the comparative study to be put forward in line with this goal, it is thought that these structures, which are frequently used in the language, will be more understandable, especially for Turkish students learning Russian.
