| Sumario: | The aim of this study is to exhibit the use of conjunctions mentioning cause and reason in German and Turkish comparatively. Thus, by examining the conjunctions expressing cause-reason in German, how those conjunctions are used in German and how they are transmitted into Turkish were aimed to be presented. By handling the relevant conjunctions, sample sentences were given. Consequently, it was concluded that the equivalents of those language elements are formed in Turkish by participles and gerunds structured by the suffixes adapted to the root of the verbs; besides, a structural similarity was not observed. During the study, it was observed that German includes many cause conjunctions while in Turkish only one conjunction, “because”, is used in this sense. This data can be accepted as indicating that German is richer on account of vocabulary while Turkish is of grammar structures consisting of suffixes and prepositions. In German, like some conjunctions expressing style and time, cause and reason conjunctions also initiate subordinate clauses whose verbs appear at the end of the sentence. That case is a rule of German grammar and it is contrary to regular sentence structure. Though, in the formation of a regular sentence, verb appears in the second place, generally after the subject. However, in Turkish, sentence structure and syntax are totally different, and verb always appears at the end of the sentence. The same situation is valid for the sentences used with conjunctions. That’s why, syntaxial differences immediately manifest themselves while structural, meanwhile syntaxial similarity, is not observed. |
