Research
My main research area is the structure of Turkish. More in particular, the constructions I focus on are those which do not get much attention or even no attention at all in the literature on Turkish grammar. One such topic is the structure of nominal compounds – not only the question as to how these derivations are formed is an issue that was resolved, but also an explanation for their complexity and for their immense success as a construction type are provided for in a series of publications (1992, 1999, 2002).
Another topic of interest is complementation: what are the structural (lexical and syntactic) factors that determine the choice between several types of suffix that occur in embedded verbs? The details are discussed in the publications of 1998 and 2012.
Apart from pure linguistic research I always had a strong interest in educational aspects of studies on Turkish grammar. This has resulted in a series of books for learners, ranging from beginners to professionals.
