On Risâle-i Zebân and Formation of Turkish Grammar Tradition in Anatolia

Abstract

As certain morphological and syntactic forrus of Anatolian Turkish were accepted as formal grammatical forrus in the grammar works that written between the 14th and 16th centuries in and around Anatolia, some common forrus were regularly disregarded. Based on the data gathered of the Persian-Turkish interlinear grammar work Risâle-i Zebân, this article discusses the questions of what characteristics this Anatolian grammar writing had that was followed as traditional method, and of what basic factors were behind the creation and development of it.
