Despite the increasing number of researchers and studies today, Turkish syntax has some unresolved problems. Some of these problems are due to lack of information, documents, and resources while some others are due to the repetition of claims that have been made before but have not been accepted as true. One of the subjects of Turkish syntax that has not been accepted is the title group. There is no consensus among linguists about the term’s name, definition, structure, and establishment. In addition, the content of the title element, which is one of the two elements that make up this word group in grammatical sources, is not very enlightening. The main reason for the aforementioned disputes about the title group is that the claims, which have been put forward but not accepted as true, have been accepted as true and repeated until today by some linguists instead of being questioned. This study encompasses an examination of the title group in all aspects based on the syntax features of Turkish as well as its historical development and change process. Thus, first of all, the definition of the word group in question, the name of the term, its structure, its elements and contents, its spelling, its place in the sentence and word groups and its functions in the sentence have all been determined. Then, each determined feature has been illustrated with examples taken from distinguished works of Turkish literature. Thus, the researcher seeks to contribute to the determination of the characteristics of the title group, about which there is no consensus, to understand and explain it correctly, to learn and teach it easily, to correct the information that has been repeated for a long time, and to provide consensus about this word group.
