Independence and Internal Heterogengity of Word Classes:Morphological Syntactic Types of Adjectives in Turkic Language
Language typology mainly defines and describes the main word classes in different lan-guages according to cross-linguistic morphological and syntactic criteria.Through the systematic in-vestigation of different morphosyntactic parameters,adjectives of Turkic languages has typical mor-phosyntactic features that are different from nouns and verbs,and can be recognized as an independent word class.The typical adjective A1 mainly encodes the core attribute meaning,which has both modi-fier and declarative functions,while the derived adjective A2 mainly encodes the edge attribute mean-ing,and the modifier function is more prominent than the declarative function.The correlation be-tween the formation of adjectives and their syntactic functions reflects the heterogeneity of the word class in agglutinative language.The attribute meaning is an important criterion to exclude some mar-ginal word class members.The gradual weakening of the attribute meaning determines the dissocia-tive state of some non-morphologic small words in the adjective-verb continuum.
