The tense category of Turkic languages in China is a dichotomous system that distinguishes past tense from non-past tense in verb morphology.The old Turkic past tense marker-DI is used for the past tense,indicating direct tone meaning,while the non-past tense marker is derived from the unfinished indefinable verb markers-0r and-A.Time markers express an objective absolute time concept,while aspect markers and mood marks express a reduced relative time concept.Sometimes,due to the above three categories are all related to the meaning of time,time markers may not appear in a clause.Therefore,it's particularly important to define the function of markers in verbs.The principle of subjectivity serves as the main basis for separating the mood marker from the tense marker,and morphosyntactic standards can also be employed to separate the aspect marker from the tense marker.Furthermore,the source of the aspect is also different from tense,and the grammatical degree of the tense is higher than others.Through relatively clear morphological markers,Turkic languages can classify and label their time-aspect-mood(TAM)system reflecting certain individual characteristics of agglutinative languages.
