AORIST MORPHEME OF NEGATIVE VERBS IN TURKISH TüRK EDE OLUMSUZ F LLER N GEN ZAMAN B MB R M

The morpheme (/-mA-/ and its derivations) and the aorist morpheme (/-°r / /-z / /-s / /- /), as used in the negative forms of the verbs in Turkish, have usually been considered together as the “negative morpheme of aorist” in the Turkish grammar books and other related works in literature. Yet, /-mA-/ and its derivations, and /-z+/ and its derivations are two separate particles, the former being used for negation category of the verbs, and the latter being used for the formation of the aorist of the verbs under the negation category. This article considers the particles (signed and unsigned morphemes) as used in the aorist formations of the positive and negative verbs in the historical and modern Turkish dialects; and emphasizes that the aorist morpheme of the negative verbs in Turkey’s Turkish is not /-mAz+/; but it is /- +/ for the first singular and plural pronouns; and /-z+/ for other pronouns. Türk e dil bilgisi kitaplar nda ve konuyla ilgili di er al malarda Türk ede fiillerin olumsuz ekillerinin yap m nda kullan lan bi imbirim (/-mA-/ ve türevleri) ile geni zaman bi imbirimi (/-°r / /-z / /-s / /- /) genelde birlikte “geni zaman n olumsuzluk bi imbirimi” olarak de erlendirilmi tir. Oysa /-mA-/ ve türevleri, fiillerin olumsuzluk kategorisinin; /-z / ve türevleri ise, olumsuzluk kategorisindeki fiillerin geni zaman n n yap m nda kullan lan iki ayr g revli dil gesidir. Bu makalede tarih ve a da Türk leh elerindeki olumlu ve olumsuz fiillerin geni zamanlar n n ekimlerinde kullan lan g revli dil geleri (i aretli ve i aretsiz bi imbirimler) üzerinde durulmakta; Türkiye Türk esinde olumsuz fiillerin geni zaman bi imbirimlerinin /-mAz / de il; I. teklik ve I. okluk ah slar i in: /- /; di er ah slar i inse: /-z / oldu u vurgulanmaktad r.
