What is rebracketing in linguistics? (12)(Turkish)

Here are some examples that show how rebracketing can influence not just the forms of words but their meanings and even how new words are created in a language.

In Turkish:

Elmas:

Original form: “El-mas” (Arabic origin, meaning “diamond”)

Rebracketed form: Became “elmas,” where “el” was reanalyzed as part of the word, not the Arabic definite article.

Namaz:

Original form: “namaz” (Persian origin, meaning “prayer”)

Rebracketed form: Rebracketed into a single word without an apparent break.

Rebracketing is a widespread linguistic phenomenon that can significantly influence the evolution of languages across different cultures.
