Думата ile в системата на турските следлози, нейните функции и съответствията £ в българския език

The specific characteristics of postpositions in Turkish, considered in terms of a contrastive study with Bulgarian, give the possibility of establishing the typological differences in the two languages and show the ways of teaching them to Bulgarian learners and using them correctly in speech. The concepts of postpositions as grammatical elements are reviewed; their classification and functions are considered. The place of ile, its origin, meaning and functions are treated in the system of Turkish postpositions. When contrasted with Bulgarian the following conclusions are drawn: the word ile corresponds in its meaning and functions with the Bulgarian conjunctions и, въпреки че, щом and with the prepositions с, от, по, през. Unlike the Bulgarian coordinating conjunction и (to which ile corresponds), the latter connects only homogeneous parts of the sentence when it functions as a conjunction.
