In this article, it is mentioned about different issues about syntax. For example these clauses seems simple sentences according to structure at first sight: “Uzun zamandır buralarda görünmedi. / Kaç gündür annemle konuşmadım. / Ne zamandır annemle konuşmadım. / Kaçtır seni buralarda görüyorum. / Yıllardır o türkü söylenir buralarda.” But words or group of words in this clause have copula. For this reason these clauses express more than one thought, so it is hard to say they are simple sentences. In this article, it will be discussed and decided whether these sentences are simple or complex sentences or complex sentences without the conjunction “ki” as Prof. Dr. Şükrü Haluk AKALIN mentioned at the first time.
