Abstract
Corpus analyses of lexical structures have uncovered different functions that they come to serve in textual organisation. Frequently occurring patterns of lexical items, the multi-word units, display different distributional properties across different genres and contribute to particular discourse structure. This study first presents a typology of tri-grams in Turkish extracted from the Turkish National Corpus. Second, it discusses the distributional properties of most frequently occurring trigrams in fiction and non-fiction texts. The formal and functional typologies presented here help specify genre properties of Turkish texts
Özet
Corpus analyses of lexical structures have uncovered different functions that they come to serve in textual organisation. Frequently occurring patterns of lexical items, the multi-word units, display different distributional properties across different genres and contribute to particular discourse structure. This study first presents a typology of tri-grams in Turkish extracted from the Turkish National Corpus. Second, it discusses the distributional properties of most frequently occurring trigrams in fiction and non-fiction texts. The formal and functional typologies presented here help specify genre properties of Turkish texts.
