ABSTRACT
Turkish has no prepositions, but a large number of postpositions, which follow their complements. Turkish postpositions fall into two main categories: bare postpositions (17.2), which carry no suffixes, and possessive-marked postpositions (17.3), which are marked by a possessive suffix agreeing with the complement, and an oblique (dative, locative or ablative) case marker. After discussing all these types of postposition, and the principal members of each class, in 17.4 we consider the syntactic functions that postpositional phrases can perform.
