NOUN : noun

Definition

Nouns are a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing, animal or idea.

The NOUN tag is intended for common nouns only. See PROPN for proper nouns and PRON for pronouns.

Turkish nouns inflect for tr-feat/Number, possessor and tr-feat/Case.

We also mark the non-root inflectional groups as NOUN in complex derivation involving some suffixes, and subordinate clauses that function as a noun phrase. For details, see the section on subordination in specific constructions.

All adjectives and some of the adverbs may function as a noun without additional derivation, in this cases, we keep the POS tag of the original word, but assign nominal features to the word. (TODO: this needs more discussion)

Examples

• kız “girl”
• kedi “cat”
• ağaç “tree”
