Relative clauses in Old Anatolian Oghuz show significant differences from Turkish in terms of morphology, semantics, and syntax. Therefore, the results of studies on Turkish cannot be generalized for the written language between the 13th and 15th centuries. In this respect, it is necessary to investigate the construction types of subordination, strategies of relativization, aspect, tense, and modality values of participles in detailed research. To fill this gap, in this paper, I deal with participles forming nonfinite clauses in Old Anatolian Oghuz in terms of the semantic domains of grammatical categories based on the corpus after evaluating the types of relative clauses in the general aspect. The samples were selected from four texts that are representative of the language of the historical period.
