    11. Morphology Word Structure

    12. Morphological universals (Greenberg, 1964) If a language is exclusively suffixing, it is postpositional; if it is exclusively prefixing, it is prepositional. 41. If in a language the verb follows both the nominal subject and nominal object as the dominant order, the language almost always has a case system.

    13. Case marking symmetrical asymmetrical TURKISH All nominals inflect for the same case categories. (7) Noun Pronoun Nom dolap biz Acc dolab-i biz-i Dat dolab-a biz-e Loc dolap-ta biz-de Abl dolap-tan biz-den Gen dolab-in biz-im Instr dolapil biz-im-le English Noun Pronoun Direct book we Acc - us Gen books ur

    15. Lexical Categories English Verb Eat eat-s eat-ing ate eat-en Noun girl girls girls girls Adjective small small-er small-est Adverb fast fast-er fast-est Turkish Verb gez+dir+e+me+yebil+ecek+ti+k Non-verbs (Substantives) oda- lar- imiz- dan eski - ler- imiz - den

    16. Greenberg Universals (1966) 1. In declarative sentences with nominal subject and object, the dominant order is almost always one in which the subject precedes the object. 4. With overwhelmingly greater than chance frequency, languages with normal SOV order are postpositional. 12. If a language has dominant order SOV in declarative sentences, there is never a rule which puts interrogative words or phrases first in interrogative questions. 13. If a nominal object precedes the verb, then verb forms subordinated to the main verb also precede it. 14. In conditional statements, the conditional clause precedes the conclusion as the normal order in all languages.

    17. Word order All languages have a dominant word order, ... that is more common than others. Most languages allow variations on their basic word order. (Steele in Greenberg, 1978). S-O-V S-V-O predominant orders V-S-O O-V-S O-S-V V-O-S

    18. Relativization relative pronoun Non-reduction strategy Pronoun retention Deletion (I) Der Mann der mich begrsst hat war ein Japaner.

Pirata (Brazil- Everett, 1986) (iii) ma ye we ntra fan nwe si san gho I see-PRF person that who he PST2 beat-PFV you I have seen the man who has beaten you. Babunka (Bantu-Schraub 1985)
