Özet
We highlight some aspects of the clause structure of Turkish Sign Language (TİD). There are zero to three-argument predicates in TİD. We divide the paper into chapters according to the number of arguments, but morphological categorization of predicates is instrumental in understanding different members of these groups. Zero-place weather predicates, unaccusatives, unergatives, and transitives can belong to the morphologically plain predicates group. However, there are no plain ditransitive predicates. On the other hand, except for weather predicates which lack an argument to start with, locus and classifier agreement apply to some members of all the predicate groups. Lastly, we show that there is no one-to-one relation between a classifier type and a transitive argument structure.
