Changes and transformations seen in languages are mostly carried out naturally by the speakers of that language. It is known that many changes have occurred in the Turkish language in terms of phonetic, morphological, lexical and semantic from the very beginning. The extent of these changes is sometimes at the level of dialect differences, and sometimes at levels that are not recognized and incomprehensible even by speakers of different dialects of the same language. Even if phonetic differences allow to recognize these structures, functional or semantic differences may not make it possible to understand or interpret language structures correctly. Grammaticalization examples, which are frequently encountered in Turkish, constitute a part of these differentiations. In general, the transformation of words from concepts and functions into grammatical units is defined as grammaticalization. One of the examples of grammaticalization, which is frequently seen in Old Anatolian Turkish, is "vardı". In the historical text studies examined, no recorded example of the "vardı" structure in its grammatical form and meaning was encountered. Therefore, in this article, the grammaticalization phenomenon and the grammaticalization of the "vardı" structure will be discussed, and the new meaning and function of the structure in question will be emphasized.

Grammaticalisation which is period of change manifests itself in semantic world of language as different rates and varied forms. While meaning construction of language is established, “substitution” needs to be identified again. As semantic, “substitution” term which is used in traditionalistic description of pronoun is a rule that is used and practiced in many items of sentence. In this work will be tried to reach that pronouns suggesting confidential semantic specificity of word patterns have representation even sentences in the meaning world. Because, pronouns is able to contain some expressions having meanings with denotation and varied association in structure of itself. Not only formal but also functionally determing semantic structure of pronouns for understanding and explaning the meaning of pronouns while pronouns are taken our border that is stated by classic grammar and demonsrating that endless sentences can be pronominalize in semantic world are mainly aim of this work. All these realities will be possible as long as glossemes – adjective, adverb, noun, preposition, interjection and sentence – substitute each other in context with privately pronominalise generally grammaticalisation. Namely, glossemes simultaneously will be examined and different utilization and function of morpheme will be demonstrated. In addition, this work completely will be materialized through selected texts and selected paradigms from these texts.

This paper aims to analyse morphosyntactic and functional properties of grammaticalised morphemes consisting of a nonfinite verb form plus a verbal lexeme in Noghay, which is a South Kipchak Turkic language spoken in the northern Caucasus. The nonfinite form in question can be a converb in -(I)p or - A, a verbal noun in -MAGA, or a participle in -(A)yAK. Combinations of nonfinite forms with subsequent verbs can perform various grammatical functions (i.e. phase specification, viewpoint, modality, proximative or avertive). The paper takes into account the problems with ambiguity that can arise because some of the verbal lexemes in such combinations can potentially also appear in their lexical meanings or because one and the same combination can denote different grammatical notions. The issue of suprasegmental factors will therefore also be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
