This article offers a new morphosyntactic account of subject agreement in the Turkish verbal domain. The account is based on a combination of well-known, novel, and overlooked observations about the distribution and prosody of verbal agreement. In Turkish, when certain morphosyntactic requirements are met and the verb is focused, as in fragment answers with ellipsis, the agreement morpheme can be parsed inside or outside of the prosodically prominent part of the verbal domain that constitutes the fragment answer. I claim that this optionality is a reflex of how the morphemes that constitute the verbal domain are postsyntactically concatenated. In particular, I argue that an agreement morpheme either lowers together with its host (full lowering) or is stranded when its host lowers (partial lowering). In full lowering, agreement is contained within the prominent part of the verbal domain, whereas in partial lowering, agreement falls outside of this prominence domain. I also show that the prosodic variability in question is observed only when two related noncanonical realizations of agreement are possible: medial agreement and double agreement. The Vocabulary Insertion rules that I postulate for the subject-agreement paradigms of the Turkish verbal domain capture the acceptable cases of medial and double agreement and successfully predict in which environments medial agreement is optional and in which environments it is obligatory.

土耳其语的语法语法和音韵学

本文提供了土耳其语领域中主题协议的新语态句法解释。该叙述是基于对口头同意的分布和韵律的众所周知，新颖且被忽视的观察结果的结合。在土耳其语中，当满足一定的语态句法要求并且将动词集中时（如带省略号的片段答案），可以在构成片段答案的言语域的韵律突出部分的内部或外部解析协议语素。我声称这种可选择性是对构成言语域的语素在句法后如何级联的反映。特别是，我认为协议语素要么与其宿主一起降低（完全降低），要么在其宿主降低（部分降低）时搁浅）。在完全降低时，协议包含在言语领域的突出部分内，而在部分降低时，协议则不在此突出领域之内。我还表明，只有在两种相关的非规范实现协议可能出现时，才能观察到所讨论的韵律变异：中间协议和双重协议。我为土耳其言语领域的主题协议范本假设的词汇插入规则捕获了可接受的中间和双重协议案例，并成功预测了在哪个环境中中间协议是可选的以及在哪个环境中是强制性的。
