Опыт составления анкеты по именным предложениям в южносибирских тюркских языках и первые результаты ее применения
Attempt of the questionnaire on the nominal sentences in the South-Siberian Turkic languages and the first results

Summary/Abstract: Simple sentences are modelled according to certain structural patterns linked to typical situations they represent — propositions. We consider an elementary simple clause (ESC), i.e. a clause containing only obligatory components of the situation, to be the main entity on the syntax level. ESCs can be represented by their structural schemes. Although the systems of ESCs are language specific, they also have universal core structures. This allows for comparing syntax systems of languages and dialects. Nominal simple clauses form a separate subsystem, different from that of verbal ones, due to the nature of nominal predicates themselves — they establish relations between two or more entities or notions or encode static situations. The present questionnaire was worked out in order to collect language material on main structural and semantic types of Turkic nominal sentences; it should ensure comparability of syntactic systems of Turkic languages and dialects. Here, we present our first results of research on nominal sentences obtained using the questionnaire.
