This study aimed at studying morpheme "ta" as conjunction and preposition in speech of Azerbaijani speakers. The study was descriptive-analytical and corpus was collected from languages spoken in different regions of East Azarbajan and Ardabil provinces. First, using morpheme "ta" as conjunctions and prepositions were collected. Then, data was analyzed following dominant paradigm related to language contact . The analysis of data indicated that morpheme "ta" as conjunction was much more frequently used than the same morpheme as preposition. Furthermore, morpheme "ta" as conjunction was abundant in speech of all speakers, even monolingual Azerbaijani speakers. Therefore, two criteria of frequency of use and finding the way of linguistic element in speech and language of monolinguals are indicators of borrowing of morpheme "ta" as a conjunction in Azerbaijani T language. However, the use of the morpheme "ta" as a preposition and conjunction in certain meanings was less frequent in the speech of Azerbaijani speakers. These types of morphemes seem to appear only in the speech of Azerbaijani-Persian bilinguals. Consequently, the morpheme "ta" as preposition and conjunction in certain meanings and as codeswitching element is still phonetically rendered in the speech of bilinguals,. The studies on language contact have mostly focused on the results of borrowing, while codeswitching -borrowing continuum has highlighted the path for entering and establishing nonnative elements in host language. Entering Persian morpheme "ta" in speech of Azerbaijani speakers is also an indication of gradual process of transferring functional elements has been analyzed under the framework of codeswitching- borrowing.
