Tane As A Marker Of Discreteness In Turkish
Anahtar Kelimeler
In this work, I will review some of the prominent descriptive and theoretical accounts of the use of the lexical item tane in Turkish. Based on a new corpus analysis on the various uses of tane, it will be argued that it should be regarded as a pragmatic marker rather than a semantic one. More specifically, tane appears within the numeral construction when the referent needs to be marked as a discrete entity in the context. This account captures the different uses of the word in a systematic way in the language.
