BARE OBJECT NPs AND SCRAMBLING IN TURKISH

Abstract

Turkish with respect to lexical features of NPs in the framework of copy-theory-of- movement. Previous studies propose that non-Case-marked and/or [-specific] NPs cannot be scrambled in Turkish. In this study, the interactions between Case- marking, specificity, and scrambling is explored in regard to immediately pre- verbal bare object NPs, due to both non-Case-marked and [-specific] properties of these lexical items. As opposed to what has been proposed before, the results show that [-specific] bare object NPs are free to scramble into the post-verbal field when they have Topic-features. This reveals that the interplay between Case-marking and scrambling is not that ironclad as opposed to the pre-assumptions in the literature
