They are used as adverbial phrases. The possessive element, however, has no antecedent, and that is why these constructions bear the semblance of postpositions more than that of real nouns. In particular, temporal constructions based on a noun denoting some moment, period, or duration behave like real postpositions in that they allow for indefinite and finite complements. Various postposition-like structures can also be used in predicate position and thus take a person marker. These constructions are typical for the description of mental states and mental content and of instances of intention, decision, and obligation.","PeriodicalId":311517,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Turkish Grammar","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114966117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To mention only two of its applications, two different stems express an ordinary sequence of actions, but two identical stems stand for a repetitive action.

Another type of aspect is expressed with a verbal suffix composed of a linking vowel and a second verb stem. Although it has been advanced that a classification in terms of nominal, existential, and verbal sentences is motivated by the type of negation each class requires, the verbal system is the one that deviates from this partition because of double negation.

This particle is not only applied to form choice questions, but it forms yes/no questions as well. The negational particle değil is used to contrast two or more nouns and combined with the question particle it is also the core of tag questions.

Also many formations which suggest that they were once made on the basis of rules now no longer productive deserve, of course, the necessary attention.

However, examples drawn from a text corpus reveal that if one can do something, one might also be able not to do that thing, and similarly, one might also not be able not to do “something.” Secondly, the abilitative forms are contrasted with other applications of bil-; ‘know how to’ is expressed by an inflected infinitival complement of bil-, but a full infinitive preceding the negative stem bil-me- stands for duration or continuity.","PeriodicalId":311517,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Turkish Grammar","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125871122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In uninflected words primary stress can fall on any syllable; per word there is a fixed syllable bearing stress, but as soon as inflectional elements kick in, this may change. Many inflectional suffixes attract stress and this gives the general impression that the stress position shifts with every addition, but on the other hand, some word stems with non-final stress retain their primary stress position when inflected.
