One of the ways to reinforce words in Turkish is to use suffix-prepositions/enclitic. These

expressions, which can be exemplified since the first written texts of Turkish, cannot be

definitively judged to be affixes or prepositions, and can exist with another word, have

found widespread use in Anatolian dialects. It is seen that these structures, which can be

confused with affixes in most of their usages, create a meaning difference with a function

above t he a ffix t o t he m eaning o f t he w ord t heir c ome f rom compared to the affixes.

Although the general opinion is that enclitic come t o a ll words, it i s seen t hat t hese

expressions, most of which have archaic features, continue their existence by clinging to

closed words such as pronouns, conjunctions, etc. The +I enclitic, which clings to

pronouns in Erzincan and its region and gives them a reinforced addressing function,

creates a new dimension between word and meaning; it reveals an emphatic expression

that will affect the whole sentence, especially in the phrases/sentences of applause and

malediction. In the present study, examples of the +I enclitic found in Erzincan and its

region and its contribution to the meaning will be emphasized.
