| dc.description.abstract | In linguistics, it is a commonly accepted fact that world languages are not
isolated from one another. People communicate with each other and establish
historical, religious, political and economic ties. As a result of these contacts,
elements from one language penetrate the other and lexical borrowings are
the most common result.
In the present study, our attention is drawn to the proper nouns, denoting
people and having Turkish derivational formants that are part of a dissertation
examining nominal derivation in contemporary Turkish. The aim is to determine word formation types and models, their productivity, the semantics of
formants, the lexical and grammatical characteristics of the motivating base
forms, the synonymous relations, in which, on one hand, derivatives are involved, and, on the other hand, formants. | en_US |
