Hybrid Clause Combining Strategies in Turkish Language Contacts
The Turkic contact varieties of the Balkans use two main diametrically opposed subordination strategies: (i) the Turkic template, where typical subordinate clauses are prepositive, nonfinite, contain clause‐final subordinators, etc. and (ii) the Indo‐European (IE) template, where typical subordinate clauses are postpositive, finite, contain clause‐initial subordinators, etc. Additionally, Balkan Turkic also uses several kinds of subordinate claus…
Further Thoughts and Observations About Silent Arguments in Turkish
The question of how silence is interpreted by native speakers, as well as when silence is possible to begin with, is one of the most basic issues with respect to the syntactic (and morpho-syntactic) investigations cross-linguistically. In these brief remarks, I would like to address some data in Turkish and their analysis to be found in this context in prior studies. More specifically, I would like to suggest that some of the claims made in the (…

Converbs in heritage Turkish
Turkish expresses adverbial subordination predominantly by means of converb clauses. These are headed by nonfinite verbs, i.e. converbs, which have a converb suffix attached to the stem. The different converbs express different aspectual relations between the subordinate and the superordinate clause, and they can be modifying or non-modifying. We analyse data from speakers of Turkish as a heritage language in Germany and the U.S. as well as monol…

On copular clitic forms in Turkish
This paper argues for a novel classification of the morphology in a canonical agglutinative language, namely Turkish, in some respects. I argue here that what has traditionally been described as true agglutination is actually due to cliticization. While true agglutination exists as well, it is distinct from cliticization. I look here at verbs exclusively and discuss cliticized forms of the inflected copula as well as some other clitics that attac…
Constraints on Free Relative Clauses in Turkish
This paper investigates aspects of Turkish relative constructions that have attracted little, or no, attention previously: 1. the order of morphemes--in particular, of agreement morphemes of the participle and of the plural morpheme of the (understood) head--in the verbal complex of Free Relative Clauses (FRCs) with regular factive participial morphology; 2. the lack of so-called "matching effects" in Turkish HRCs; 3. lack of genuine infinitival …
