Abstract

Finite verb, being regarded as final verb in Turkish, is composed of root or trunk, verb base, shape, time, and person factors. Person factor refers to the one who has realized the action by following time and shape suffixes. Person factors concretise abstract situations and they are stated in two different forms in historical manuscripts written in Turkish. From the aspect of type, person factors are pointed out as personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, personal ending based on pronoun, and comparative suffixes. This study investigated “person factor in verb conjugation” used in Gokturk Turkish, Old Uigur Turkish, Karakhanid Turkish, Khorezmian Turkish, Kypchak Turkish, Chagatai Turkish and Old Anatolian Turkish, all of which are old forms of Modern Turkish. Person factors were investigated in detail according to their types. In that sense, first, person factors were sorted according to their types, and simple and compound suffixes they took were provided. Later, the compiled person factors were explained through samples taken from historical manuscripts and they were informed about according to Turkish sound consonance. Thus person factors in verb conjugation that were used in historical manuscripts written of Turkish were introduced comprehensively.
