The Syntactic Valency of Some Verbs in The Book of Dede Korkut: Diachronic Differences

Abstract: This article examines the verbs in the text of The Book of Dede Korkut (Kitab-ı Dede Korkut) whose syntactic valency shows differences when compared to Modern Oghuz languages. The verbs that we examine are the following: as‘to hang’, at‘to shoot’, bulış‘to meet’, doy‘to have one’s fill of something; to become satiated’, iliş‘to be hitched, incin‘to be offended’, ķo(ķoy-) ‘to allow’, ķon‘to settle; to peach’, ķop‘to appear; to break out’, ķur-; tik(dik-) ‘to build; to set up, to pitch’, küs‘to be offended’, muştula‘to convey good news’, öp‘to kiss’, sarmaş‘to embrace one another’; sor‘to ask’, sög‘to curse, to swear’, toğ‘to be born’, ur‘to strike; to beat’, usan‘to be tired of, to be bored’, yapış‘to grasp; to stick’, yaralan‘to be wounded’. These verbs are investigated from a diachronic point of view. The article also makes some explanations concerning the reasons for the diachronic changes.

Valency relations between alkali and alkali earth elements and elements of second and third long periods

Abstract: Elements of groups IA and IIA form many compounds with elements of the third long period passing back from bismuth to platinum; fewer compounds are formed with elements of the second and earlier periods. The incidence of such compounds has been analysed graphically such that the valencies on the components may be inferred. The compounds exhibit low valency on the second/third long period component, and normal valency on the A-element. The compounds are covalent in character, and are formed across the ionic divide consistent with Fajans' rule.MST/464
