Morphology 105 Assignment 3: More Turkish Morphology DUE ON FRIDAY, APRIL 16 Turkish Verbs Problem Set 2 Turkish Verb Forms This problem set fills in more of the picture of how verbs work: Part 1 shows the interaction of aspect and tense markers. Part 2 shows the interaction of aspect, tense, and agreement. PART 1 Using the data given in Part 1 of Turkish Verbs Problem Set 1, identify the sequence of morphemes in each of the forms below. Then write a rule which accounts for both the grammaticality of the good forms and the ungrammaticality of the starred forms. olacaksa gidiyordu *gittimiS gOrUyorsa yemiSse *gelseyecek kaCmIStI yapacaktI *aradIyor PART 2 Give translations for the following forms: yUrUyordum uCmuStular gidecekseniz gOrUyordu Olecektik aramISsan Turkish Verbs Problem Set 3 The Aorist The term "aorist" is borrowed from Greek grammar, and it means "unbounded". It denotes continuing and habitual activity. PART 1 Identify the aorist suffix, considering only the data in this section. gloss inf aorist `resemble' benzemek benzer `understand' anlamak anlar `speak' konuSmak konuSur `sweep' sUpUrmek sUpUrUr `walk' yUrUmek yUrUr `seek' aramak arar `covet' imrenmek imrenir `deceive' aldatmak aldatIr PART 2 The aorist suffix varies systematically as shown in this data. Identify the factor which determines the form of the aorist suffix, and revise your rule accordingly: gloss inf aorist `go' gitmek gider `escape' kaCmak kaCar `say' demek der `make' yapmak yapar `do' etmek eder `turn' dOnmek dOner `fly' uCmak uCar `eat' yemek yer PART 3 The following forms are considered to be exeptions to this rule. Explain why. gloss inf aorist `be' olmak olur `die' Olmek OlUr `come' gelmek gelir `see' gOrmek gOrUr `think' sanmak sanIr `give' vermek verir `stand' durmak durur PART 4 Morphotactics of the Aorist Make sure your grammar generates the grammatical forms below and does not generate the ungrammatical ones. gOrUrUm `I (habitually) see' benzerseniz `if you (pl.) resemble' gelirdim `I would have come' yaparIz `we make' *gOrdUr sanIrdIlar `they would have thought' yUrUr `he/she/it walks' anlarsalar `if they understand' *sUpUrser *OlUrUyor *sanmIyacaGIr Turkish Verbs Problem Set 4 More Verb Forms Instructions: For each group of examples identify the new morphemes introduced. Posit underlying representations, and phonological rules as needed to account for any regular alternations. Your solution should also include a description of the order in which these morphemes may be affixed to the stem. Remember that there is not always a one-to-one correspondence between the elements in the Turkish construction and the accompanying gloss. The gloss gives the meaning of a word; it is not an explicit chart of its morphological composition. Set 1 gitme `don't go' aramIyacaGIm `I will not seek' yUrUmUyoruz `we are not walking' aramamak `not to seek' kaCmadIlar `they did not escape' Set 2 OlUnUr `it is died' gelinmemek `to not be come' kaCIlIr `it is escaped' gOrUlmiyeceGiz `we will not be seen' aranIyorsunuz `you are being sought' yapIlmamIS `(reportedly) not made' sokulursunuz `you are inserted' yenmediler `they were not eaten' ekilirse `if it is sown' sokulursanIz `if you are inserted' Set 3 olabilir `can be' Olemiyoruz `we can't die' Olebiliriz `we can die' yUrUmUyebildik `we were able to not walk' arIyamIyacaklar `they will not be able to seek' kaCamIyabilirsin `you might not be able to escape' yenebilse `if it's edible (able to be eaten)' kaCIlamamIS `it was (reportedly) not able to be escaped' gOrUlemiyebildiniz `you might not have been able to be seen' Set 4 OldUrUrUm `I kill' oldururuz `we cause to be' yedirilseniz `if you are made to eat' sokturulmasak `if we are not caused to be inserted' yaptIramIyoruz `we can't have it done' yUrUtUrler `they make (it) walk' yUrUtebildin `you were able to make it walk' aratacaGIm `I will have it sought' arattIracaGIm `I will have someone have someone seek it' OldUrteceGiz `we will have him killed' OldUrtUrUz `we have him killed' OldUrttUrUrUz `we cause someone to have him killed' Set 6 kaCmalIyIm `I have to get away' uCturulmamalIsIn `you should not be made to fly' yenmeliler `they must be eaten' OldUrUlememeliyiz `we have to not be able to be killed' Analyze: yUrUttUrttUk yedirtilemiyebiliyorsunuz Turkish Verbs Problem Set 5 Still More Verb Forms This data set provides more information on the verbal template.
