Türkische Interrogativsätze an den Schnittstellen der Grammatik

四个较大的研究将导致土耳其问题的句法、语义和韵律的全面图景，并对所涉及的界面的跨语言文献做出一系列贡献1。土耳其语Wh-in-Site(‘阿里吃了什么？’)吸引句子重音，不像英语和德语中移动的wh-词(‘Ali吃了什么？’)研究受控语境中的差异使我们能够研究这种影响相对于给定的、新的和集中的元素的影响。对土耳其语语调的描述包括重音缩回到wh-单词，What疑问句的最后一个上升，以及最初的平台期。语音研究确定了这些词的存在和关键的语音/语音细节。不典型的问题(修辞、回音等)显示wh-词、疑问标记-mi和语调标记的非典型组合。它们对于确定这些元素的含义至关重要。-mi在备选疑问句中的每个备选词后缀(‘John-mi还是Bill-mi晚餐做好了？’)。土耳其语是/否--疑问句允许有一个“单一选择”版本(“John-mi晚餐做好了吗？”)这使我们能够解决跨语言文献中关于替代问题的公开问题。

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.
