Summary

This chapter will briefly deal with linguistic relations above the level of the Turkic sentence, i.e. in discourse and text constitution. Preceding chapters have demonstrated how hierarchical syntactic structures can be broken down into constituents: sentences into clauses, clauses into phrases, and phrases into words, all according to certain grammatical regularities. No corresponding regularities are found above the sentence level. Speakers and writers are relatively free to choose their own tactics in organizing utterances.
