    Names of people are of a great importance for linguistics and folklore studies as well as for maintaining national identity. A name can be considered as a symbol of social and individual existance of human. In Turkish culture, naming a child is as important as becoming a parent. Because of this, once it was thought that a person who had a specific name had to show appropriate characteristics according to the name. In this study, we have dealt with the Turkish individual names in Mamusa Municipality in Kosovo which is striving to preserve its identity and names in Balkans in general. As a result of the names inquiry in Mamusa we reached the following conclusions: naming tradition shows great similarities with Turkish world; given that names mostly come from religious, national and lineage areas showing differences according to different periods and that the Turkish identity and the Turkish appellation are being preserved through names in this area.

    NEGATIVITY AND NEGATION IN GAGAUZ TURKISH
    (Trakya Univ Balkan Yerlesesi Enstituler Binasi, 2021) Dogan, Levent
    In all languages in the world, besides words with negative meaning, there are some negation markers that provide negativity at the sentence and word level. From this point, negativity is generally evaluated in two different dimensions as semantic and structural. The semantic dimension of negativity cannot be limited to negativity markers like its structural dimension and can be examined in different ways. Although languages do not have any negative suffixes in their vocabulary, there are many words that directly report negation. Moreover, sometimes a negative situation can be expressed with words with a positive meaning or the contrary of it can be in question. In this, the meanings of the words according to the context in which they are used and the person by whom they are used are effective. On the other hand, negative words can be handled in various ways according to their dictionary meanings. Negativity is a universal category that exists in every language. However, the way negativity is provided differs from language to language, depending on the structure and rules of each language. The meanings attributed to words and their connotation values change according to the geography in which societies live and the values and beliefs they possess. Such differences are also encountered among the dialects and subdialects of the same language. In this study, negativity in Gagauz Turkish, one of the living dialects of the Turkish language, is discussed semantically and structurally. In the semantic negativity part of the study, all kinds of words, word groups and curse words, except verbs with negative content, determined from Gagauz Turkish dictionaries, were classified under various headings. In the structural negativity part, it has been tried to determine what the suffixes and elements that provide negativity in the syntax are together with these words.
