Abstract :This paper explores qoşma, postposition in modern Azeri and its Turkish counterpart. According to the common view on Azeri, postposition, particle, conjunctions, modals, interjection are listed under the minor parts of speech. In Turkish grammar, there is a tendency to categorize all minor parts of speech under a single heading of edat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(particle);, which results in confusion about the definition and function of the particle. Words in Turkish like particles and conjunctions are classified in different terms in Azeri. However, this difference is not only observed in the terms but also in their usage. The part of speech, which is named as qoşma insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(postposition); in Azeri, is an example of this. As a pert of speech, it has no counterpart in Turkish. Thus, in this paper, the function of qoşma is explained and the Azeri model is proposed in the classification of edat to help eliminate the confusion in Turkish.
