Turkish by Celia Kerslake

Turkish: A Comprehensive Grammar has been extensively revised in this second edition to provide a complete reference guide to modern Turkish grammar, presenting an accessible description of the language with a thorough description of the sound system, intonation patterns, word structure and sentence structure of Turkish.

The book presents a stimulating analysis of the complexities of the language through detailed descriptions and illustrative examples. Relevant parts of the examples are highlighted for better understanding and are accompanied by grammatical glosses that will facilitate the parsing of the constructions. An extensive system of cross-referencing makes it easy for the reader to see the connection between topics.

The book is designed as a source for intermediate and advanced learners and users of Turkish and for students of linguistics. It can be used as a reference book and supplementary material in colleges, universities, and continuing education classes, both in Turkish courses and specialized linguistics classes.

Aslı Göksel is an independent researcher and former Professor of Linguistics at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey.

Celia Kerslake was University Lecturer and Emeritus Fellow of Turkish, St Antony’s College, Oxford University, UK.
