A Grammar of Turkish Sign Language (TİD)

3.2.2. Position of question signs

Question signs, specifically, wh-signs [Syntax - 1.4.2.2.], occur in two positions in embedded clauses: either in-situ, or at the end of the sentence (as opposed to the four possible positions in interrogatives that are simplex clauses [Syntax - 1.2.]). In the first two examples, the question signs occur in-situ.

        ix2 forget [ix1+2pl-incl when marry] forget

You forgot when the two of us got married.’

          (adapted from Hakgüder 2015a: 83; ex. 73)

 

ann wonder [who like philip]

Ann wonders who likes Philip.’

          (Hakgüder 2015a: 89; ex. 81)

         

ix1 know_that [günaya ix3a ayşeb acheat_onb who]

I know who Günay is cheating on Ayşe with.’

             (adapted from Hakgüder 2015a: 83; ex. 74)
