Introduction and Purpose of StudyThe human intelligence is based on a complex system that worksin a certain order. This system allows us perceiving the universe andevents around us. It is the mental process, and has been ratherelaborated by the psychologists. Though the linguists were interested init, their studies did not go beyond the gains. Sensory verbs form theperception step in mental process. Perception is carried out by thesenses in the human body. The verbs which are used to indicate theactions happen with the help of the senses in our body are called assensory verbs.After analyzing the tactile sensation verbs that we found,according to their central meaning and connotations, we are going todetermine whether they convey positive or negative meanings. Does aphysical contact or a mental contact affect the formation of the verbswill be another field of analysis in this study. Finally, whether theseverbs formed unprompted or not will be found. In our study, weexamined verbs of tactile sensation into three groups as basic tactilesensation verbs, sensation verbs of compassion and violence.MethodThe emotional verbs constitute the perception that is the first stepof the mental process. The perception is realized through the humanbody senses. However, the concept of emotional verbs is used to definethe actions induced by the senses in the course of perception. Whenone considers that the human being perceives everything in the outerworld through his senses, the emotional verbs naturally include manyexamples. In order to demonstrate if our determined tactile verbs areactually used, we gave some examples of sentences from the literalworks. We used three different ways to select the sentences of theKazakh Turkish language. The first way was to trace the availableprinted matters to determine the example sentences. The second was touse two Internet sites where the literal works of Kazakhstan arepublished in electronic medium. We selected sentences from the literalworks published in the said sites. It was the last step where we usedthe “Kazak Tilinin Edebi Sözdiği” (Literal Kazakh Vocabulary) of fifteenvolumes.Findings and DiscussionIn tracing the both dialects to find the emotional verbs, wedetermined all the emotional verbs and the number of their commonusage. The Kazakh Turkish Language covers extremely higher numberof emotional verbs than in the Turkish Language of Turkey. Upon Kazak Türkçesinde Dokunma Duyu Fiilleri ve Anlam Zenginliği 97Turkish StudiesInternational Periodical For the Languages, Literature and History of Turkish or TurkicVolume 10/4 Winter 2015search of the Kazakh Turkish Language, we found 255 emotional verbs,of which 205 ones are actually used. It reveals that the nominations ofactions formed by the senses have such verbs as are specific to thoseactions. And the remaining verbs take place within the emotional verbsas of their connotations. As of the Turkish Language of Turkey, wedetermined 180 emotional verbs, 121 ones of which are basically used.We found 56 tactile verbs in the Kazakh Turkish Language.However, we elaborated only their emotional meanings. We studied theverbs in terms of central meaning-connotation, positive-negativemeaning, voluntary-involuntary and physical-mental contacts. 42 onesof 55 verbs determined by us take place in this group as of their originalmeanings. Out of the remaining verbs, 6 ones have the secondary tactilemeanings, and the 2 ones quaternary tactile meanings, while 5 oneshave both the primary and secondary tactile meanings. In the TurkishLanguage of Turkey, we however found 75 tactile emotional verbs. Ofsuch verbs, 48 ones have the primary tactile meaning, while 8 and 3ones involve the tactile feelings in the secondary meaning and thetertiary and fifth meanings respectively. Out of the remaining verbs, 11ones take place in this group with their primary and secondarymeanings, while 2 ones have more than two meanings even in thisgroup.16 ones of the 55 verbs we determined in the Kazakh TurkishLanguage are commonly used in the Turkish Language of Turkey. Suchkernel verbs as tiy-, tut-, uvısta, türt- take place among the verbscommonly used as the tactile verbs. As the kernel verbs are commonlyused, it is understood that the denominations of tactile verbs areidentically used şn the both dialects.Conclusion and SuggestionsThe tactile sense verbs take an important place in the bothdialects, and it is the sole sense that is expressed by more verbs in theTurkish Language of Turkey than in the Kazakh Turkish Language.Indeed, the Turkish Language of Turkey refers to the tactile sense morefrequently than the Kazakh Turkish Language. When one considers it interms of the cumulative emotional verbs, the richness of the KazakhTurkish language becomes apparent. This may be attributed to the factthat the urbanization is, compared to the urbanization in Turkey, lessin the geography where the Kazakh Turkish Language is used. A morecomprehensive search on the dialects and in the dictionaries of idiomswould likely result in more numbers of emotional verbs
