Turkish morphotactics #

Turkish is suffixing: derivational suffixes precede inflectional ones and clitics follow both ([goksel-kerslake-2005] §6.3). The inflectional suffixes of a finite verb appear in the order root - voice - negation - tense/aspect/modality - copular marker - person marker - -DIr (§8.2), the tense/aspect/modality markers themselves falling into five positions (§8.2.3): the possibility suffix -(y)A (1), which precedes the negative (§8.2.3.1), the bound auxiliaries (2), the markers of tense, aspect and modality proper (3), the copular markers (4) and -DIr (5). Markers of one position cannot co-occur, and every finite verb but the imperative and the third-person optative carries one of position 3; the voice slot alone admits a sequence of suffixes, up to four (§8.2 (7), §8.2.1.1). The inflectional suffixes of a nominal appear in the order number - possession - case (§8.1). The finite verb and the nominal are each a Morphology.PositionClassSystem: a slot inventory, its template, and the exponents of each slot, with the person markers (§8.4) and the possessives (§8.1.2) as Agreement.Paradigms. The clitics mI and dA, which can interrupt the inflectional string (§6.3 (5)), are Chapter 11 material outside both systems. The markers' meanings are the matter of Chapter 21 and Appendix 2: -DI marks past tense, perfective aspect and direct knowledge, -mIş relative past tense, perfective aspect and indirect knowledge (evidential modality, §21.4.3), the copular -(y)mIş evidential modality alone; -mIş followed by a copular marker or -DIr is perfective only (§8.2.3.3). Negation of the aorist is irregular, -mAz for -(A/I)r (§8.2.2; see Turkish.Negation). The grammar's examples are checked against both systems in Studies/GokselKerslake2005.lean.
