Abstract
COMPOUND VERBS CONSISTING OF NOUN + (AUXILIARY) VERB IN OLD UYGHUR LAW DOCUMENTS
The Uyghurs, who had to migrate to different regions after the collapse of the Uyghur Khaganate of Ötüken established in Ötüken, established the Turfan Uyghur State in Koço, Beş Balık and Turfan regions. With a peaceful policy, the Uyghurs living in this region became the most advanced Turkish society of that period in the fields of agriculture, trade, literature, education, law, etc. and left many documents called "civil documents" in the literature. Among these documents, the Old Uyghur Law Documents are important documents that reflect the cultural characteristics of that period and serve as a source for the study of the Old Turkic language.
Especially due to the adoption of new religions, trade relations and migrations, there are many concepts in Old Uyghur Turkic that were created and signed by applying the morphological method, the syntactic method or the borrowing method to sign new terms.
Considering that the signification of term formed by syntactic method is less considered in many studies, this study examines the situation of compound verbs formed with noun + (auxiliary) verb, which is one of the meaningful language elements, in the Old Uyghur Law Documents written in Old Uyghur Turkic. In the study, document analysis method is applied and compound verbs formed with noun + (auxiliary) verb are presented to the attention with examples.
