Abstract:

This volume is a comprehensive grammar of the Turkish language, suitable both
for students of the Turkish language and linguistic scholars. Gerjan van
Schaaik draws on sound linguistic research and an extensive corpus of
real-life data, alongside more than twenty years of feedback from university
classrooms, to provide the most complete, up-to-date, and practically useful
survey of the Turkish language ever compiled.

Following an introduction that provides background information on the Turkic
languages and an overview of the linguistic terminology adopted in the volume,
the first part of the book explores the fundamentals of Turkish spelling and
pronunciation. Parts II and III explore the noun phrase and adjuncts and
modifiers, respectively, while Parts IV and V examine the verbal system and
sentence structure. These first five parts together represent a valuable
overview of the fundamentals of Turkish grammar. Part VI provides an account
of the ways in which new words are constructed on the basis of existing
material, and constitutes a bridge to the more advanced matter treated in
parts VII and VIII, including relative clauses, subordination, embedded
clauses, clausal complements and the finer points of the verbal system. The
work will be accompanied by a companion website that will provide exercises to
accompany each part.
