The Oxford Turkish Grammar
Published: 23 July 2020
This volume is a comprehensive grammar of the Turkish language, suitable both for students of the Turkish language and linguistic scholars. Gerjan van Schaaik draws on sound linguistic research and an extensive corpus of real-life data, alongside more than twenty years of feedback from university classrooms, to provide the richest, most up-to-date, and practically useful survey of the Turkish language at the moment.

Language is a very versatile instrument and any attempt to set up an exhaustive description at all linguistic levels in one go is an enterprise of gargantuan proportions. No matter how much of such an attempt appears in print, there are always topics apparently overlooked or not having received the right amount of attention. That’s why there is an online addendum. Just click the button below, and you’ll see how many extra lovely topics there are.
