TYPOLOGY OF SYNTACTIC RELATIONSHIPS IN CODEX CUMANICUS

Abstract

One of the actual problems of Turkology in modern times is to involve the language of monuments and manuscripts in the study of specific sections. With this, it will be possible to trace the development of Turkic languages from the original Turkic to the modern era. Codex Cumanicus is one of the valuable works for Turkic languages written in the Middle Ages. The work was first reported by M.J. Klaprot in 1828, first fully published by G. Kuun in 1880, and in modern times by M. Argunshah, G. Gunar, A. Garkavets, etc. has been widely studied by researchers. In Azerbaijan, I. Guliyev defended a dissertation entitled "Lexicon of Codex Cumanicus". Transcription, transliteration and translation issues have been given more attention in the researches. It is known that the work "Codex Cumanicus" was written by Italians and Germans. For this reason, researchers conventionally divide the work into two parts: the Italian part and the German part. The Italian section consists entirely of dictionary. In the German section, along with the dictionary, texts are also provided. In this article, the texts given in Codex Cumanicus, that is, the German
part of the work, have been involved in the research. The syntactic relations in the texts have been investigated. The forms of expression of syntactic relationships of coordinating and subordination (anjoining, control, agreement) in the work are described with numerous examples from the manuscript, and the similarities and differences with the modern Azerbaijani language are noted. It has been seen that the syntactic relations expressed in the language of the work written in the XIV century are almost no different from the modern Azerbaijani language.
