Татар телендә III зат тартым конструкцияләрен өйрәнүгә карата
This article deals with Tatar genitive possessive constructions which lack the 3rd person possessive suffix. Previous research argue that the 3rd person possessive suffix is obligatory in Tatar possessive constructions. According to previous research on Turkish, genitive possessive constructions which lack the 3rd person possessive suffix are acceptable when there is a certain semantic relationship between a genitive noun and a head noun. In this article, I argue that in Tatar, unlike Turkish, genitive possessive constructions which lack the 3rd person possessive suffix are generally inacceptable, regardless of a semantic relationship between a genitive noun and a head noun. The analyses of the few examples extracted from the web-corpus show that such constructions are mainly found in spoken language and they may not express the meaning of possession. Our data from Chuvash language suggest that the possibility of the use of such constructions is varied among Turkic languages.
