problematic in the Classical Turkic literature which had developed in the East
(Turkestan) and in the West (Anatolia). At first view the problem seems to generate
from Persian, which has a similar structure and is the influence over both Turkic
literatures. However, the fact that the most productive form of the copula is based on
the aorist of the verb tur- `to stand`, which used to be a free morpheme in the past and
the use of a similar morpheme in Kazakh Turkic display that the problem arises from
the internal development of Turkic. turur, which initially was a free morpheme has
become a bound morpheme in the course of time. As it I known the arbitrariness
caused by meter and rhyme in poetry has introduced deviations in Turkic syntax.
These two characteristics i.e. transformation of the copula from a free morpheme to a
bound morpheme and the characteristics of poetical language, have entailed a
problematic use in classical Turkic poetical language.
