In (17a, b) third person plural person agreement -lAr is used for second 4 <strong>and</strong><br />

third person singular -sin <strong>and</strong> ø respecti<strong>ve</strong>ly. These forms are used as a sign of<br />

respect. It is also possible to use third person singular -ø to refer to first person<br />

singular as seen in (17c). This is the style often adopted by writers to refer to<br />

5<br />

themsel<strong>ve</strong>s in formal written language. The second person plural siz for the<br />

second person singular sen shown in (17d) is a widely used politeness pattern.<br />

Negation<br />

10<br />

St<strong>and</strong>art negation is marked on the <strong>ve</strong>rb using the negati<strong>ve</strong> morpheme -mA as in<br />

gelmedi. The alternati<strong>ve</strong> negati<strong>ve</strong> marker de¤il is used with adjectival It is your turn! <strong>and</strong> nominal<br />

predicates as in Olcay mutlu de¤il, Olcay ö¤retmen de¤il. It can also occur with a<br />

preceding clause, but this type of use is more marked since it is restricted to -mIfl,<br />

-(I)yor, <strong>and</strong> -(y)AcAK clau<strong>ses</strong> only: gelmifl de¤ilsin, geliyor de¤ilsin, gelecek de¤ilsin,<br />

It is your turn!<br />

but *geldi de¤ilsin, *gelir de¤ilsin, *gelmeli de¤ilsin. Notice that the person agreement<br />

marker is obligatorily used with de¤il in these sentences to avoid otherwise<br />

ungrammatical forms: *geliyorsun de¤il, *geleceksin de¤il, *gelmiflsin de¤il. Howe<strong>ve</strong>r,<br />

this constraint becomes optional when de¤il is used with a preceding It is your turn! clause negated<br />

with -mA. Double negati<strong>ve</strong>s formed in this way allow both person marked preceding<br />

clau<strong>ses</strong> as in gelmeyeceksin de¤il <strong>and</strong>/or person marked de¤il as in gelmeyecek<br />

de¤ilsin. Double negati<strong>ve</strong>s with de¤il also allow the past <strong>and</strong> present tense markers<br />

in their preceding clau<strong>ses</strong>: gelmedi de¤ilsin, gelmez de¤ilsin as well as gelmedin<br />

de¤il, gelmezsin de¤il (Erguvanl›-Taylan, 1986: 159-177).<br />

It is also possible to con<strong>ve</strong>y negati<strong>ve</strong> meaning with derivational markers as in<br />

Olcay mutsuz. Negati<strong>ve</strong> derivational markers create contradictory meanings that<br />

are mutually exclusi<strong>ve</strong>. This kind of negation is not <strong>ve</strong>rbal since the use of it is<br />

restricted to non-<strong>ve</strong>rbal categories.<br />

Tense, Aspect, Mood (TAM)<br />

Tense <strong>and</strong> aspect communicate information about time. In order to underst<strong>and</strong> the<br />

meaning of a noun, we do not ha<strong>ve</strong> to consider time, but messages con<strong>ve</strong>yed by<br />

<strong>ve</strong>rbs are understood based on various information about time. This information<br />

can be hidden in the lexical meaning of a <strong>ve</strong>rb. For example, some <strong>ve</strong>rbs inherently<br />

do not last long, i. e. s›çra-, k›r-, hapfl›r-, but some do, i. e. oku- yüz- uyu-. Some<br />

<strong>ve</strong>rbs focus on the beginning or the finishing of an e<strong>ve</strong>nt, i. e. baflla-, bit-, son <strong>ve</strong>r,<br />

some on the ongoing nature of it, i. e. sür-, ol-, dur-, yet, some others emphasize<br />

a change in state of affairs, i. e. büyü-, so¤u-, yefler-. This type of intrinsic information<br />
