Diachronic and Typological Perspectives on Verbs
This chapter is in the book Diachronic and Typological Perspectives on Verbs

Abstract

The following remarks concern Turkic clause junction types that are considered to be non-canonical, i.e. not conforming to typically Altaic patterns. Their origin and development are commonly ascribed to Indo-European influence. It seems, however, that their basic structure is not alien to Turkic. Preexisting patterns may have been reinforced and expanded by foreign impact. For materials, see Adamović (1985); Brendemoen (2002); Bulut (2000); Demir (2002, 2007); Friedman (1985, 2006); Kakuk (1960, 1972); Kappler (2008); Kıral (2001, 2005); Matras (2006); Menz (1999); Pokrovskaja (1964); Scharlipp (1999).
