Turkish Grammar by G L Lewis
This title provides a guide and reference on Turkish grammar for students providing a basis not only in verb construction, nouns and the order of elements in a sentence, but also information on asyndetic subordination, punctuation and sentence analysis.
While others have told the history of the language reform as well, it is Lewis' great merit that more than a third of his study is devoted to analyzing the 'ingredients' and 'concoctions' of this reform as he calls themThis he does both expertly and wittily, enlivening his scholarly discussion of how intellectuals and others employed various suffixes to coin new words while frequently bending the rules of linguistics. * Jacob M. Landau, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem *
