CHANGES IN STRUCTURE OF ADVERSATIVE-CONCESSIVE SENTENCES IN TURKISH LITERARY LANGUAGE

Verkhova K. A.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the structure of adversative-concessive sentences in modern Turkish on the example of samples of Turkish press written in the second quarter of 20th century – the first quarter of 21st century. Analysis of the material shows that lexical means, such as conjunctions and introductory phrases expressing adversation and concession, are used with higher frequency in the texts written in both periods; moreover, growth in frequency of use of morphological means is stated. Among lexical-syntactic means the preference is given to constructions that do not contain temporal meaning or additional functions.
