Summary/Abstract: In this study, Turkish simple and complex phrase nouns are studied within the theoretical principles of the Role and Reference Grammar. RRG aims to describe syntax, semantics and pragmatic interaction within various grammatical systems. The main constituent elements of the clause are nucleus that containing the predicate, the core that contains predicative arguments and the periphery layer that contains arguments non-predicative. Core, nucleus and peripheral argument are universal characteristics of every natural language. In demonstrating the layered structure, the verb creates the predicate and in the upper level forms the nucleus. Predicative arguments form the core. Peripheral argument is being connected to the core. All the elements form the sentence in the upper level. There are fundamental similarities in the structure of NPs and clauses, especially when the NPs are complex derived nominal. The primary correspondence between NPs and clauses in RRG is that both have a layered structure and in both there are operators modifying the layers. In the layered structure of the NP, there is a nominal nucleus and a nominal core consisting of the nucleus and the arguments of a complex derived nominal.
