Addendum to the Oxford Turkish Grammar
“No book is complete without an addendum!”
The subtitle does not represent any conventional nor other kind of wisdom, but it could well be the quote of a jungle biologist who, just after having submitted the manuscript of his wildlife compendium to his publisher, discovered a large number of unknown but interesting creatures, a feat which left him with no other choice than laughing on the wrong side of his face.
In the case of the OTG the current addendum is not a survey of new discoveries but rather an attempt to present a number of constructions which in hindsight appeared to be of greater significance than was felt at the time of writing the bulk of the book. The contributions in this addendum must therefore be regarded as work to make up lost ground. Non-starred titles are as PDF available on request.
