О подпарадигме аналитических форм татарского глагола
On the periphrastic verbal subparadigm of Tatar

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at establishing a few descriptive generalizations about the structure of periphrastic verbal subparadigm of Tatar. Tatar makes use of two auxiliaries, i- ‘be’ and bulu ‘be’, the former having a restricted paradigm, the latter being a regular verb featuring the whole range of synthetic and periphrastic options. Both morphological and syntactic evidence suggest that lexical verbs enter periphrastic configurations as participles. The whole periphrastic subparadigm consists of 3264 indicative finite forms. The paper also surveys the relationship between periphrastic verbs and so-called serial verb constructions, as well as a number of issues surrounding the structure of a few copular constructions.
