Abstract:

This volume is a collection of studies on various aspects of word order
variation in Turkish. As a head-final, left-branching ‘free’ word order
language, Turkish raises a number of significant theory-internal as well as
language-particular questions regarding linearization in language. Each of the
contributions in the present volume offers a fresh insight into a number of
these questions, thus, while expanding our knowledge of the
language-particular properties of the word order phenomena, also contribute
individually to the theory of linearization in general. Turkish is a
configurational language. It licenses constructions in which constituents can
occur in non-canonical presubject as well as postverbal positions. Presented
within the assumptions of the generative tradition, the discussion and
analyses of the various aspects of the linearization facts of the language
offer a novel treatment of the issues therein. The authors approach the word
order phenomena from a variety of perspectives, ranging from purely syntactic
treatments, to accounts as syntax-PF interface or syntax-discourse interface
phenomena or as output of base generation.
