%0 Journal Article %T TEXTUAL AND GRAMMATICAL FEATURES OF THE VERSIFIED CHAGATAY STORY K£¿Y£¿K-N£¿ME (STORY OF THE DOE) %A Fikret TURAN %J - %D 2019 %X K£¿yik-name / Geyik-name is one of the versified stories with multiple versions in which Prophet Muhammad¡¯s compassionate personality is reflected over his helping a wounded doe who was fallen prey to a hunter. The text analysed in this study is distinguished from the versions in other dialects by being significantly shorter than others. It is a story with 52 couplets running on pages 20/2-22/2 (18a-20a) in a handwritten anthology (mecm£¿¡¯a) numbered Beyaz£¿t 3626, which is kept in Beyaz£¿t State Library, Istanbul. By showing the word-initial /k/ and /t/ as a dominant quality, the text demonstrates general vocabularies and grammatical features of Chagatay Turkic. While not showing uniformity in use, the dative +£¿a/+ge in general doesn¡¯t follow the palatal harmony. The text also rarely shows grammatical characteristics of Oghuz Turkic %K K£¿yik-name %K Ge£¿ D£¿nem £¿a£¿atay T¨¹rk£¿esi %K £¿a£¿atayca pop¨¹ler manzum hikayeler %K elyazmas£¿ £¿a£¿atayca metinler %K £¿a£¿atay imlas£¿ ve gramer £¿zellikleri %U http://dergipark.org.tr/iuturkiyat/issue/44859/560277
