SON DÖNEM ÇAĞATAY TÜRKÇESİNDE "AMMÂ" EDATININ FARKLI İŞLEVLERİ (MİSBÂHU'L-ENVÂR ÖRNEĞİ).

This study discusses two different functions of the coordinating conjunction "ammâ" in the work Misbâhu'l-Envâr written in the last period of Chagatai Turkish. These are the functions of "strengthening the contrast" and "also/as well as" The coordinating conjunction "ammā/but" is used in General Turkish as a coordinating conjunction with the function of contrast in the meanings of "however, however" In other words, it connects two sentences with the function of contrast. The sentence's meaning following the coordinating conjunction "but" contrasts with the first sentence. The word is essential of Arabic origin and is used in Arabic, as in Turkish, with the function of contrast in the meanings of "but, on the other hand, together with this" In Misbâhu'l-Envâr, written in the last period of Chagatai Turkish, the coordinating conjunction is also used in "reinforcing the negative meaning" and "also/as well as this" functions in addition to this basic contrastive function. The function of "also/as well as" occurs especially when it is desired to give additional information that complements or completes the meaning of the sentence preceding the preposition. The preposition "ammā" is used 51 times in Misbā? al-Anwār, 5 of which are in the functions of "beside/in addition to" and one of which is in the functions of "reinforcing the negative meaning" It is observed that the preposition "ammā" is used 45 times in the work in the function of contrast. This shows that the coordinating conjunction is predominantly used with the function of contrast in the work. However, in Misbâhu'l-Envâr, which is written in the Tashkent dialect of Chagatai Turkish, in addition to this basic function, it is also seen that the coordinating conjunction establishes a parallelism relation in the diametrically opposite sense of "also/as well as this" and plays a role in reinforcing the negative meaning.
