The work deals with a number of aspects of Turkish grammar, which in the literature are either of controversial nature, or which remained totally underexposed. The central topic is the NP which is investigated, on the basis of its specific properties of course, within the theoretical framework of the Amsterdam school of Functional Grammar. The book provides not only a fundamental morphological description of Turkish NPs, but goes into its application to domains such as lexicon, word formation processes, and syntax as well. Furthermore, the descriptional model proves applicable to the transitional areas between morphology and syntax.
