@article{2013,title={RELATIVE PRONOUN, COMPOUND SENTENCES WITH Kİ AND IN KÜÇÜK AĞA THE CONNECTING FUNCTIONS OF “Kİ”},abstractNode={This study is started with the definition of the compound sentence and the paper basically dealt with the concept of relative pronoun and compound sentences with “ki”. On the point of the classification of compound sentence, different views are included and mentioned. Most of these differences were on whether or not to accept compound sentences formed with relative pronoun as compound sentences, but they are accepted as compound sentence in the paper. As a beginning of the study, which is about relative pronoun and compound sentences with “ki” that passed from Indo-European languages to our tongue and connect the subordinate clause to the clause with various methods, a wide literature review is carried out. After giving personal opinions about the subject, the connecting functions of “ki” are emphasized. While deciding these functions the sentences used are taken from my MA thesis named “‘ki’ sentences, conditional clause and nested compound sentences in Küçük Ağa by Tarık Buğra”. At the end of the study, using these sentences, the connecting functions of “ki” is defined and the subject is made more understandable with the examples taken from the mentioned work. Furthermore, the examples of “ki” are adjusted to Turkish sentence structure and written beneath the related example. Thus, with the help of gerundial clauses we presented how the compound sentences with “ki” transformed into fundamental Turkish sentence structure. Additionally, in the last part of the study a classification of noun and verbal clauses, which were linked with compound sentences connected with “ki”, is made. The figures are given in chart in the study.},author={Burak TELLİ},year={2013},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
