Abstract [en]
There are a bundle of particles in the Tor (Syriac Turabdin) dialect of Northern Kurdish,which depending on the kind of predicate and tense of the sentence can createprogressive and prospective constructions. Although the particles have somewhatdifferent forms depending on their functions and the kind of the predicate, the forms areidentical to the forms of the linker Ezafe. In this study on the basis of the predicatesthey appear with, the function they have and their forms, these particles are divided intotwo groups; Group A and Group B. Group A particles appear with non-verbalpredicates and do not add any semantic nuance to the sentences while Group B particlesappear with locative and verbal predicates in order to create progressive and prospectiveconstructions. This study describes these particles in the Tor dialect and compares themto similar particles in two other dialects of Northern Kurdish, Behdînî and Maraş. Alsoa description of the Ezafe is given in order to argue the relation between the Ezafe andthese particles.
