KIRGIZ TÜRKÇESıNDE ZARF-FııLLER VE TÜRKıYE TÜRKÇESı KARŞILIKLARI ÜZERıNE BıR ARAŞTIRMA.

Gerund, which are used frequently in Turkic languages along with verbal nouns and participial in infinite clauses express different relations to the content of a verb followed such as synchronous, preterit, posteriori, manner, binding, up temporality, goal etc. We study in these article gerunds in Kirgiz, which is a member of the Kipchak Turkic, using materials taken from newspapers and literary works published in Kirgizia. We classify gerund in Kirgiz as simple gerund (e.g. -A/-y, - (U)B etc.), derived gerund (e.g. -GAndA , -GançA etc.) and gerund which have the form of a postpositional phrase (e.g. -GandAn kiyin, -ArI menen etc.). We compare the gerund in Kirgiz with those of Turkish from the standpoint of their functions and syntax used in both Turkic languages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
