Book Description

TEXTBOOK


Product Description

Since its appearance in 1967, Professor Lewis's Turkish Grammar has been the standard work on the language throughout the English-speaking world. This revised and fully updated new edition further reflects the results of the language reform movement which, though not so drastic in its effect on the spoken language, has made anything written before the early 1930s, and a lot since, increasingly obscure to subsequent generations. Incorporating much new material, it presents an authoritative, lucid, and engaging text, setting out every form and construction of pre- and post-reform Turkish that may be encountered in print, as well as colloquial usages. Reviews of the first edition: 'This is by far the most comprehensive Turkish grammar ever published in English [Professor Lewis] guides the student through the delicate labyrinths of the language with sympathetic understanding and what is rare in the grammarian humour The typography and arrangement of the book are beyond all praise, and all in all the book is a most notable achievement.' Royal Central Asian Journal '[The] thinnest chapters of a grammar are sometimes those on syntax; but in this book the discussions of modern Turkish syntax are the strongest sections, illustrated by lucid and penetrating analyses of sentence structure, with no skirting round difficulties or papering over of cracks This book will certainly be instructive and indeed enjoyable reading to every student of Turkish who has already made some progress in the language.' SOAS Bulletin 'Professor Lewis displays both a mastery of Turkish grammar and an understanding of how that grammar can be best presented to English speakers. His style is clear and readable, his overall approach extremely practical.' Middle East Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Turkish Grammar Books, 2 Jan 2004
By A Customer
Geoffrey Lewis's Turkish Grammar is without doubt, the best grammar book for Turkish. Note, however, that it is a reference grammar not a study book. This is not the book to buy if you want to actually learn Turkish, instead it is useful to dip into for the beginner, and to study for a more advanced students. Do not use this book on its own, use it as a supplement to a study book.
For those beginning, a good place to start is Turkish in Three Months, by Bengisu Rona (published by Dorling Kindersley / Hugo). This is clear, concise and straightforward and cheap (if it is not available from Amazon, try DK direct, or second hand with ABE, or you can buy it in Istanbul).
You will also need a good dictionary, you can't go wrong with a Redhouse (which are much cheaper if you buy them in Turkey).
Probably the best and most comprehensive grammar is Turkish Grammar by Geoffrey Underhill, but it is unecesarily expensive for the beginner.
For the beginner Bengisu Rona's Turkish in Three Months is best. Once you get through it you will know where you want to go with the language (if anywhere) and what your needs are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book, 28 Aug 2007
This is a great reference book. It covers everything that I could ask for and provides clear explainations as well as well-thought out examples. I worked through this book and it markedly helped me with improving my Turkish. One of the better language guides that I have ever come across.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb reference grammar., 6 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Turkish Grammar (Paperback)
Turkish is very different from English. But rather than emphasize the exotic, Lewis clearly lays out the internal logic of the language, with examples drawn from actual usage.

His Teach Yourself Turkish (Teach Yourself Books) is an excellent introduction; this is an excellent reference.

About me: I never did get very far in Turkish, but I got as far as I did as fast as I did because of Lewis's books.
