Abstract

The category of voice in Modern Turkish demonstrates various meanings in different situational cases due to its morphological, semantic and syntactic characteristics. The issue concerning the voice category of Turkish remains controversial condidioned by these facts. A group of turkologists-linguists have proposed various categorizations of voice forms based on the fact that the verb expresses the relation of the action with the grammatical subject and object, brings out the logical doer and receiver of the action.
