Agenda

• The copula issue discussion cont.
  • Copula issues with examples
  • Issue document

Discussion

• We have selected our preferred approaches out of options regarding specific issues:
  • i-/e- vs. bol-/ol-: The option of i-/e- being a separate "copula" and бол-/ol- being a distinct verb is preferred.
  • Tokenization: we have preferred to split the copula. Two examples:
    1. "Men uydaman." where man is split and has the relation "cop".
    2. "Buydum." where ydum is split and has the relation "cop".
  • Dash/hyphen: "punct" is preferred.
  • We have also talked about the following issues without conclusions: Değil/эмес, Non-finite verb forms with copula, and Light verb constructions (?) with ol-/бол-.
