There are ways of new word formation such as derivation, compounding, semantic shift and borrowing in Turkish. The derivation which is the main word formation way is made by derivational suffixes. Varying as deriving nouns from nouns, verbs from nouns, nouns from verbs and verbs from verbs, by adding these suffixes new words are expressed. The suffixes of AGAn~-AğAn and -GAn which derive nouns from verbs create nouns and adjectives that denote habituality and frequent happening. In some cases, words made by the suffixes of -AGAn~-AğAn and -GAn are used with adverbs such as “çok, iyi” in the meaning of much, frequent for adding intensive meaning. To exhibit the historical process of Turkish language, Tarama Sözlüğü is important dictionary for researchers. It was published in six volumes between 1963 and 1972 including 14.000 entries and 60.000 witnesses which is formed by scanning 227 literary works.
