GRAMMATICAL EVENTS IN IMERKHEULI

Abstract

Studying dialectical speech was always very important to show the complete corpus of a language. But the process of studying slowed down a little after giving priorities to other directions during the last two decades. Our aim is to study the language situation of Georgians living in Turkey in this case in Imerkhevi during the field expedition. We have recorded the changes in their speech that were namely in grammar. Such as: case endings, pronouns, agreement between determinant and determiner, expressing the number in different ways, ev suffix forming, using forms of compound predicate spread in the speech of ethnic Georgians, characteristics of forming passive voice, some adverbs, conjunctions, and particles. The ethnical language which is used only by family members and ethnic groups shows the vast possibility of form building.
