Abstract
DIFFERENT PHONETIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ANTALYA’S SERİK DISTRICT DIALECT DIFFERENT FROM STANDARD TURKISH
Serik district of Antalya province is in the central part of Antalya, approximately 30 km from the city center. It is a touristic town with a coastline of 22 kilometers to the east. Due to the geographical structure of the district, it has started to lose its unique socio-cultural texture due to immigration from inside and outside. Reasons such as mass media entering every house, ease of transportation, increasing popularity of tourism day by day, and increasing literacy rates prevent the compilation of the dialect characteristics of the district in a healthy way. Due to such reasons, Serik dialect, like other Turkey Turkish dialects, is under the influence of Standard Turkey Turkish and quickly loses its vocabulary with its unique sound and morphological features. As it is known, these live dialects, which are extremely important in revealing the richness of the vocabulary of Standard Turkey Turkish and especially in following the development and change of the language closely, should be compiled and recorded as soon as possible before they are lost.
In this study, all the villages/neighborhoods of the Serik district of Antalya province were reached, and text and word compilations were made on certain subjects from the source people who were thought to reflect the dialect characteristics best. In the light of the data obtained from these compilations, the phonetic and morphological features of the region, which differ from the Standard Turkey Turkish, are listed as items. In addition, compilations were made from Tahtacı Turkmen and immigrants, who had an important place in Serik, and the data obtained from them were given under separate article titles.
