Abstract

In this chapter we present a large scale, deep grammar for Turkish based on the Lexical-Functional Grammar formalism. In dealing with the rich derivational morphology of Turkish, we follow an approach based on morphological units that are larger than a morpheme but smaller than a word, in encoding rules of the grammar in order to capture the linguistic phenomena in a more formal and accurate way. Our work covers phrases that are building blocks of a large scale grammar, and also focuses on linguistically—and implementation-wise—more interesting cases such as long distance dependencies and complex predicates.

Fußnoten
1
ParGram/ParSem. An international collaboration on LFG-based grammar and semantics development: pargram.​b.​uib.​no (Accessed Sept. 14, 2017).
 
2
We assume that the reader is familiar with the basic concepts of LFG. Otherwise, please refer to Kaplan and Bresnan (1982) and Dalrymple (2001).
 
3
All functional structures are simplified in this chapter to emphasize the relevant features only.
 
4
The rest of the tests are discussed in Sect. 3.​3.​2 of Çetinoğlu (2009).
 
5
We do not cover previous general LFG work here explicitly and instead cite them when the relevant phenomena are discussed throughout the following sections.
 
6
This rule is very similar to the one used in the ParGram English grammar.
 
7
This feature was originally included in the morphological analyzer as it would help to disambiguate the analysis of the previous token in the text in the early rule based morphological disambiguation tools.
 
8
See Chap. 2 for Turkish verbal morphotactics on how these forms are derived.
 
9
There are also some exceptions to this rule. In the sentence yapayım sana yemek “Let me cook for you”, the nominative object yemek comes after the verb yapayım (Sarah Kennely (p.c.)). Aslı Göksel (p.c.) gives another example: ekmek ben hiç yemem “I never eat bread.” Here, the nominative object precedes the nominative subject.
 
10
Double causatives are quite common, triple causatives are also observed.
 
11
The single passivization of the sentences in (52) can be assumed to have the same interpretation with the double passivization, but (53) does not have such a parallelism.
