Abstract

In this study, are examined the Old Anatolian Turkish words who sesemantic fields were expanded by ellipsis wich is a type of semantic change. The position of ellipsis is researched in semantics and semantic changes, and it is thought as below branch of semantic extension. Briefly, ellipsis are searched both theoretically in semantics' frame and practically. In this period the words whose semantic fields were extensioned are determined by searching the writtenwork of Old Anatolian Turkish.
