The examples compiled from texts were assessed using the compliance analysis in line with Partington and Firth's considerations about connotations. The analysis prescribes that connotations have a part of their real meaning. When these texts were examined, it was seen that each of these three words could be used interchangeably. "Kalp" which became widespread in the last years of Old Anatolian Turkish entered into semantic fields of both "gönül" and "yürek" by extending its field of use.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDiachronic Semantics; Gönül; Kalp; Meaning; Semantics; Synonymy; YürekArticle291211462-s2.0-84959322696Q3
