A Grammar of Turkish Sign Language (TİD)

3.5.1.2.1. Non-manual markers and their properties in factual clauses

The non-manual markers used to mark the antecedent clause in factual conditional clauses are raised eyebrows on the predicate and head thrust at the end of the antecedent clause.

 

pull

‘If you pull...’

 

How these non-manual markers align and spread are shown in the example below:

 

 

 

                                 re

                              h-th

[cat taıl pull] cat angry scratch

‘If you pull the tail of the cat, it will scratch you.’

 

 

There are no shared non-manual markers in the consequent clauses of factual clauses. Furrowed eyebrows, head nod, neutral eyebrow position are among the non-manual markers that accompany consequent clauses.

The non-manual markers used to mark the antecedent clause in factual conditional clauses are raised eyebrows on the predicate and head thrust at the end of the antecedent clause.
