Abstract

Historical texts contain many complex issues to be solved. As these issues can be mistakes and absences which make texts uncertain, they can also be related to phonetic improvements and changes that language goes through in historical process. Sometimes it may be possible to find certain auxiliary items or data within the text itself to solve these issues. However, sometimes it is necessary to comment on and understand the structures or language unities which are used in rather different functions today. That is, if the structures used within the language itself have undergone functional changes, remark and detection of this situation becomes more of an issue. Due to this complex and multifaceted difficulties of texts, correct understanding of certain words, idioms or other morphemes may take a long time. In recent years, Dede Korkut Oghuznamas has been one of our texts which is frequently argued over by means of reading and understanding issues. In this article ban, Banu, Bambam Depe and Bamsı structures which take place in Dede Korkut text, are re-emphasized and explanations are made regarding their meanings.
