Nuh DOĞAN

It is mentioned that+Ik, +Ak ve +tIk have been used as an diminutive and caritative suffixes in texts of various periods of Turkish since Old Turkish; however, they are not productive. There are metaphoric uses of +Ik, +Ak and +tIk suffixes rather than functions of an diminutive and cartative. +Ik, +Ak ve +tIk suffixes have also been used to derive nicknames besides various names of entities frequently: Arük, Sülek, Bahtük, Cozuruk, Bıcırık, Bızırdık etc. However, it is understood that the suffixes of +Ik, +Ak ve +tIk derive the nickname but that of word-formation rules of Turkish: Arük, Sülek, Bahtük etc. The nicknames derived as ungrammatical are constructed from proper nouns usually. It can be asserted that ungrammatical nicknames consist of by way of analogy and nursery language.

Key Words: Nickname, Dialect of Samsun, Diminutive Suffix, +Ik, +Ak ve +tık Suffixes, Ungrammatical Word-formation.
