Corpus Frequency and Affix Ordering in Turkish

Suffix sequences in agglutinative languages derive complex structures. Based on frequency information from a corpus data, this study will present emerging multi-morpheme sequences in Turkish. Morphgrams formed by combination of voice suffixes with other verbal suffixes from finite and non-finite templates are identified in the corpus. Statistical analyses are conducted on permissible combinations of these suffixes. The findings of the study have implications for further studies on morphological processing in agglutinative languages.
