STRUCTURE OF THE TRANSITIVE PERIOD AS AN EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION OF BASIC WORD ORDER IN THE ORKHUN TURKIC: PRONOMIAL POST-PREDICATE

On the syntactic platform, inverted sentence is described as sentences structured by adding words after verb or sentenced made up of phrases. Although there is common and inured belief about the contemporary Turkish language that unmarked basic say has the order in Subject-Object-Verb, it is possibl...
