Аннотация:
This comprehensive, highly detailed, deeply extended, multifaceted, and exhaustive scientific-theoretical research paper presents an unprecedentedly thorough comparative linguistic analysis of the aspectual and temporal systems of the German and Turkmen languages, focusing specifically on the structural, functional, and semantic categorization of past tenses (Präteritum, Perfekt, and Plusquamperfekt). The core of the study investigates the universal typological properties of verbal morphology, the opposition between synthetic and analytical past formations, temporal localization mechanisms in West Germanic and Turkic linguistic frameworks, and the morphosyntactic encoding of anteriority, duration, completion, and evidentiality. The article provides an exceptionally rigorous examination of the German indicative past paradigm—including the complex functional dichotomy between the narrative Präteritum and conversational Perfekt, stem ablaut patterns, and auxiliary verb selection (haben/sein)—alongside the corresponding Turkmen past tense markers such as the definite past tense (-di), narrative-evidential past (-miş), and descriptive-durative aspectual constructions. Based on a complex interdisciplinary synthesis of contrastive linguistics, typology, historical grammar, discourse analysis, and cognitive semantics, the fundamental principles of cross-linguistic equivalence between inflected Germanic temporal categories and agglutinative Turkic aspectual-temporal suffixes are thoroughly established.
