ESKİ TÜRKÇE YAPA 'TAMAMEN' KELİMESİNİN KÖKENİ ÜZERİNE.

The lexicalization is a way of word formation in Turkish. This process is considered as 'adoption into the lexicon' and 'falling outside the productive rules of grammar'. Lexicalized words differ from words with productive suffixes, so lexicalized words have petrified or frozen suffixes. The frozen suffixes are very important on account of etymological explanations. Frozen is different from word formation. Frozen suffix does not carry any living formation function. There is a specific joining here. The word yapa is not found in Versuch eines etymologischen Wörterbuchs der Türksprachen, Drevnetyurkskiy Slovar, An Etymological Dictionary of Pre-Thirteenth Century and Old Turkic Word Formation. The correct first determination about the meaning of yapa was made in the Insadi-Sūtra. However, there is no explanation about the structure and origins of yapa. Old Turkic yapa is derived from yap- 'to cover (all); to stick (all) together' by frozen vowel converb suffix -A. Old Turkic yapa must be inserted to forthcoming Old Turkic dictionaries. Thus a new word in Old Turkic will be discovered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
