A unifying analysis of Turkish relative clause
Ercan Solak, Razieh Ehsani
May 2018
 

We propose a new analysis that unifies different relative clause constructions of Turkish for subject and object relativization. In our new analysis, we treat different participle morphemes as derivation suffixes generating noun phrases from stemmed verb phrases. This view places the whole relativization process under a noun phrase construction. By this, we also explain away the subject/non-subject asymmetry of Turkish relative clause.
