The Notorious (s)I(n) in Turkish: Neither an Agreement Nor a Compound Marker?

Bu çalışma önceki çözümlemelerde savlanıldığı gibi -(s)I(n)ın bir uyum ya da tamlama imi olmadığını ileri sürer. Önerilen yeni çözümlemeye göre -(s)I(n) adsıl öbek yapılarında iki ad öbeği arasındaki niteleme ilişkisini gösterir, bu ilişki de bir ilgeç öbeği çerçevesinde kurulur. Ayrıca, -(s)I(n)ın bir ad öbeğinde bulunması tamlayan ekinin de bulunmasını gerektirmez, dolayısıyla, -(s)I(n) ve tamlayan ekinin öbek düzeyinde farklı sözdizimsel ve edimsel işlevleri vardır. Son olarak bu çalışmada bu iki ekin birbirinden bağımsız olmasının tümce düzeyindeki kullanımları açısından sezdirimleri ele alınmaktadır.

This study argues against the previous analyses of -(s)I(n) as an agreement or compound marker and proposes a new analyis where -(s)I(n) is argued to express an attributive association relation between two NPs representable as a PP relation within nominal phrases. It is shown that -(s)I(n) is not necessarily dependent on the presence of a genitive marked possessor, thus, both -(s)I(n) and genitive serve to show different syntactic and pragmatic functions at the phrasal level. Finally, the implications of the dissociation of the two markers is addressed in relation to their co-occurrence at the clausal level.
