Morphophonology

The behaviour of {y}

There is need for a {y} "archiphoneme" in the morphophonology. Lowercase {y} is appropriate, since by our guidelines, uppercase characters are used for letters which primarily change forms (and may occasionally delete), whereas lowercase characters are used for letters which primarily delete/appear (and may change form when they appear).

Examples of {y}
example After a vowel After a consonant
{y}l{A} anneyle, babayla gözle, saçla
{y}{A} anneye, babaya göze, saça
{y}{A}c{A}{K} izleyecek, okuyacak gelecek, olacak
{y}{A}b{I}l- izleyebil-, okuyabıl- gelebil-, olabıl-

{I} versus {i}

The archiphoneme {i} deletes after vowels, whereas {I} replaces the previous vowel (i.e., surfaces and triggers the deletion of the previous vowel). They both surface after consonants. They obey the same vowel harmony rules when they surface, having four possible forms: i (after i & e), ü (after ü & ö), ı (after a & ı), and u (after u & o).

Examples of {i} and {I}
archiphoneme example After a vowel After a consonant
{i} {i}p büyüp, izlep, arap verip, olup, bakıp
{I} {I}yor büyüyor, izliyor, arıyor veriyor, oluyor, bakıyor

Aorist rules

  • Verb stems ending with vowels: -r
  • Polysyllabic verb stems ending with consonants: -Ir
  • Most monosyllabic verb stems ending with consonants: -Ar
  • The following 13 monosyllabic verb stems ending with consonants: -Ir
    • al-, bil-, bul-, dur-, gel-, gör-, kal-, ol-, öl-, san-, var-, ver-, vur-

Best solution:

  • underlyingly -{i}r
  • separate verb class for -Ar verbs, whereby {A} is added to verb stem before -{i}r

Note:

  • applies to -{i}rken too

Words that break vowel harmony

  • deal with via {e}
  • examples: saat, dikkat, idrak, harp (harb-), harf, kalp (kalb-), terminal, meşgul, festival

Epenthetic high vowel

  • deal with via {y} (or something else, since {y} is already used, but Kazakh and Kyrgyz and Tatar use {y})
  • examples: nehir/nehr-, ..?
