Structural Models of the Poetic Complex Sentence of Imadaddin Nasimi

ABSTRACT

The Azerbaijani language has a rich syntactic structure. The most important of the units included in this structure is the sentence. The sentence is a speech unit that is grammatically formed based on the internal laws and rules of each language. This language unit is rich in structural-semantic types and structure. The complex sentence has a special place among the components of the culture of written and oral speech. “The structural models of the complex sentence in a language are one of the most important factors indicating its level of development.” The results obtained during the study of the periods of development of the syntactic structure of the Azerbaijani literary language, as well as the Turkic languages, give grounds to say that the subordinate complex sentence has an ancient history. The subordinate complex sentences that occupy a dominant position in the “Book of Dede Gorgud”, classical poetry, and folklore literature are almost indistinguishable from the subordinate complex sentences in our modern language. The various structural types of subordinate complex sentences and types of branch sentences that were used in a dominant position in the language of the great Azerbaijani poet of the 14th century, Imadaddin Nasimi, whom we have involved in the study, confirm this idea. Nasimi's poetry is generally one of the most reliable sources for studying the history of the development of the Azerbaijani literary language of the 14th century. The poet's poetic language is rich in branch sentences, its various types and types of structure, and means of connecting branch sentences to (dependent) main sentences. By involving branch sentences, which are frequently used in his poetry, in linguistic research, we can create a clear picture of the syntactic structure of our language in the Middle Ages.
