The Oxford Turkish Grammar by Gerjan van Schaaik Pdf
This volume is a comprehensive grammar of the Turkish language, suitable both for students of the Turkish language and linguistic scholars. Gerjan van Schaaik draws on sound linguistic research and an extensive corpus of real-life data, alongside more than twenty years of feedback from university classrooms, to provide the most complete, up-to-date, and practically useful survey of the Turkish language ever compiled. Following an introduction that provides background information on the Turkic languages and an overview of the linguistic terminology adopted in the volume, the first part of the book explores the fundamentals of Turkish spelling and pronunciation. Parts II and III explore the noun phrase and adjuncts and modifiers, respectively, while Parts IV and V examine the verbal system and sentence structure. These first five parts together represent a valuable overview of the fundamentals of Turkish grammar. Part VI provides an account of the ways in which new words are constructed on the basis of existing material, and constitutes a bridge to the more advanced matter treated in parts VII and VIII, including relative clauses, subordination, embedded clauses, clausal complements and the finer points of the verbal system. The work will be accompanied by a companion website that will provide exercises to accompany each part.
The Oxford Turkish Dictionary combines for the first time in a single volume all the elements of two standard works: The Oxford English-Turkish Dictionary and The Oxford Turkish-English Dictionary. English-Turkish coverage includes new English words and senses; a basic scientific vocabulary; geographical and historical items; political, financial, and military vocabulary; the more common Americanisms and American spellings, and some Australian vocabulary; a guide to prefixes and suffixes; and the meanings of abbreviations. The presentation ensures maximum convenience for Turkish speakers, and the notation for English pronunciation is based on the Turkish alphabet. Up-to-date Turkish-English coverage includes new loanwords (mainly in the field of science), a survey of modern idiomatic constructions in an easily accessible form, and cross-references to the appropriate sections of G.L. Lewis, Turkish Grammar (OUP) for items of special grammatical significance.
A complete reference guide to modern Turkish grammar, this work presents a full and accessible description of the language, concentrating on the real patterns of use.

Turkish Grammar by Geoffrey L. Lewis,Geoffrey Lewis Pdf
This title provides a guide and reference on Turkish grammar for students providing a basis, not only in verb construction, nouns and the order of elements in a sentence, but also information on asyndetic subordination, punctuation and sentence analysis. This edition reflects the results of the language reform movement which, though not so drastic in its effect on the spoken language, has made anything written before the early Thirties less and less intelligible to subsequent generations; the language has, indeed, changed more in the last 70 years than in the preceding seven hundred. The aim has been to set out every form and construction of pre-and post-reform Turkish that may be encountered in print, as well as non-literary locutions that may be heard in conversation. The material is cross-referenced, and the index shows the suffixes both individually and in combination.

The Turkish Language Reform : A Catastrophic Success by Geoffrey Lewis Pdf
This is the first full account of the transformation of Ottoman Turkish into modern Turkish. It is based on the author's knowledge, experience and continuing study of the language, history, and people of Turkey. That transformation of the Turkish language is probably the most thorough-going piece of linguistics engineering in history. Its prelude came in 1928, when the Arabo-Persian alphabet was outlawed and replaced by the Latin alphabet. It began in earnest in 1930 when Ataturk declared: Turkish is one of the richest of languages. It needs only to be used with discrimination. The Turkish nation, which is well able to protect its territory and its sublime independence, must also liberate its language from the yoke of foreign languages. A government-sponsored campaign was waged to replace words of Arabic or Persian origin by words collected from popular speech, or resurrected from ancient texts, or coined from native roots and suffixes. The snag - identified by the author as one element in the catastrophic aspect of the reform - was that when these sources failed to provide the needed words, the reformers simply invented them. The reform was central to the young republic's aspiration to be western and secular, but it did not please those who remained wedded to their mother tongue or to the Islamic past. The controversy is by no means over, but Ottoman Turkish is dead. Professor Lewis both acquaints the general reader with the often bizarre, sometimes tragicomic but never dull story of the reform, and provides a lively and incisive account for students of Turkish and the relations between culture, politics and language with some stimulating reading. The author draws on his own wide experience of Turkey and his personal knowledge of many of the leading actors. The general reader will not be at a disadvantage, because no Turkish word or quotation has been left untranslated. This book is important for the light it throws on twentieth-century Turkish politics and society, as much as it is for the study of linguistic change. It is not only scholarly and accessible; it is also an extremely good read.
