Türkische Interrogativsätze an den Schnittstellen der Grammatik

四个较大的研究是导致土耳其问题的句法，语义和韵律的全面图片，并对所涉及的接口的跨语言文学的一系列贡献。土耳其语wh-in-situ（'Ali What ate？）吸引句子重音，不像英语和德语中移动的wh-词（“阿里吃了什么？研究受控语境中的差异使我们能够研究这种效应相对于给定的、新的和集中的元素的效应。对土耳其语语调的描述包括重读回缩到wh-word、whquestions的最终上升以及最初的平稳期。语音研究确立了这些的存在和关键的语音/语音细节。非典型疑问句（修辞、回声等）显示了wh-词、疑问标记-mI和语调标记的非典型组合。它们对于确定这些要素的含义至关重要。- 选择问句中每个选择项的后缀（“JOHN-mI or BILL-mI dinner cooked？').土耳其的是/否问题允许一个“单一的替代”版本（“约翰-我的晚餐煮？这使我们能够解决跨语言文献中关于替代问题的开放问题。

Four larger studies are to lead to a comprehensive picture of the syntax, semantics and prosody of Turkish questions, and to a range of contributions to the cross-linguistic literature on the interfaces that are involved.1. Turkish wh-in-situ ('Ali WHAT ate?') attracts sentence stress, unlike moved wh-words in English and German ('What did Ali EAT?') Studying the difference in controlled contexts allows us to investigate this effect relative to the effects of given, new, and focused elements.2. Descriptions of Turkish intonation involve stress-retraction to the wh-word, a final rise in whquestions, and an initial plateau. A phonetic study establishes the existence and crucial phonological/phonetic details of these.3. Untypical questions (rhetorical, echo, etc.) show untypical combinations of wh-words, the question marker -mI, and the intonational markers. They are crucial to establishing the meanings of these elements.4. -mI suffixes to each alternative in alternative questions ('JOHN-mI or BILL-mI dinner cooked?'). Turkish yes/no-questions allow a 'single alternative' version of this ('JOHN-mI dinner cooked?') This allows us to address open issues in the cross-linguistic literature on alternative questions.
