Özet:

 The set of natural principles that enable linguistic communication to occur with minimal energy and processing, in a healthy and practical way, is referred to as the law of least effort. These principles function actively and in coordination across all aspects of language, such as phoneticsphonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary. The inherent algorithms of languages are designed to make the most accurate decisions about what is economical. For this reason, every language produces new solutions to situations it encounters for the first time, as well as to elements that are no longer sufficiently useful, through changes, reductions, and sometimes even additions. If one of the solutions produced practically resolves the problem of a significant number of structures in a given linguistic algorithm, it becomes a new adaptation category or characteristic change for that language. In this study, it is aimed to identify the adaptation categories of the Western Oghuz group and the reasons for the changes in this group, by comparing the philological material in Dîvânu Lugâtit-Türk with the historical and contemporary periods of the Oghuz group. While analyzing the interactions or transformations of sounds and morphological elements, methods based on phoneme theory were used with a phonomorphological perspective. As a result, numerous linguistic mechanisms associated with the law of least effort were identified in the Western Oghuz group, such as frequency, place of articulation and laryngeal harmony, reducing articulation time by liquid sounds elision, and stabilizing phonologically unstable structures through phonemic splits.

 Dilsel iletişimin mümkün olan en az enerji ve işlemle, sağlıklı ve kullanışlı şekilde gerçekleşmesini sağlayan doğal ilkeler bütününe en az çaba yasası adı verilir. Bu ilkeler fonetikfonoloji, morfoloji, söz dizimi ve söz varlığı gibi dilin tüm boyutlarında etkin ve koordineli olarak çalışır. Nitekim dillerin tabii algoritmaları, neyin ekonomik olduğu konusunda en doğru kararları vermek üzere programlanmıştır. Bu sebeple her dil, yeni karşılaştığı durumlara ve artık yeterince kullanışlı olmayan unsurlarına; değişimler, eksiltmeler ve hatta bazen artırımlar yoluyla yeni çözümler üretir. Eğer üretilen bu çözümlerden biri, belirli bir dilsel algoritmada yer alan çok sayıdaki yapının sorununu pratik olarak çözüyorsa, bu o dil için yeni bir uyum kategorisi veya karakteristik bir değişim hâline gelir. İşte bu çalışmada, Dîvânu Lugâtit-Türkteki filolojik materyalle Oğuz grubunun tarihî ve çağdaş dönemlerine ait bilgiler karşılaştırılarak özellikle Batı Oğuz grubunun uyum kategorileri ve bu grupta oluşan değişimlerin sebeplerinin tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Seslerin ve morfolojik parçaların etkileşim ya da dönüşümleri analiz edilirken, fonem teorisine dayalı yöntemler fonomorfolojik bir bakış açısıyla kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak Batı Oğuz grubunda; frekans, boğumlanma yeri ve gırtlak uyumu, akıcı seslerin eritilerek boğumlanma süresinden tasarruf edilmesi ve fonolojik kararsızlık yaşayan yapıların fonemik yarılmalar yoluyla istikrara kavuşturulması gibi en az çaba yasasına bağlı çok sayıda dilsel mekanizma tespit edilmiştir.
