After a short section about their origins and etymological analyses we deal with them according to their syntactical and semantic functions and certain connective properties in texts. So we ask the questions whether <b> <i>ve </i> </b> has really two different meanings, symmetrical and asymmetrical, in different types of texts, and what about <b> <i> dA </i> </b>in the same environment, and whether it is possible to change the places of the sentences without losses in meaning. Another subject is about <b> <i> dA </i> </b>, which can be used as a connective word in different places in the text, i.e. as interface and postpositive unit. What is the connective function in those different positions? The last question is about the functions of <b> <i>ve </i> </b> and <b> <i> dA </i> </b> between gerundial/adverbial clauses and main sentences. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={54}, publisher={İstanbul Üniversitesi}
