Abstract
The Fifth Type Blending Words with Some New Examples
There are more than thirty ways of making words in Turkish. One of them is the method of making "blending words". With this method, a new word can be created by combining different parts of two words in six different ways. The created word often evokes one of the words that are the source of its formation. It also bears the meaning of these two words. There are a few examples in Turkish that were created long ago with this method. Recently, more words have been made in Turkish with the mixed word method, which is used as a way of making words in other languages such as English. The term "blending word" refers to the new word formed from different words from the same language and the new word formed by morphological units from different languages. Mixed words, which are formed by combining different parts of at least two words from the same language, which are the subject of study, can be classified under six headings. In the study, fifth type fifteen "blending words" that did not enter the Turkish Dictionary of TDK, which were determined by the source scanning method, were examined in terms of their formations and meanings. In the formation of the fifth type of mixed words, the "twinning point" was determined and this point was explained in the conclusion section. It is thought that making a new mixed word for Turkish will add richness to Turkish unless it is approached with prejudice.
