Résumé

This study describes the epistemic modality in Turkish. Epistemic modality markers can be categorized as morphologic markers, lexical markers, and syntactic markers (Kerimoğlu, 2010). This paper focuses on the morphological marker -DIr and compares its modern version with the Old Anatolian Turkish. With reference to this comparison, the possible reasons for the change of the -DIr marker in time are presented. These reasons are suggested to be pronunciation difficulty or vowel flattering. Furthermore, this study refers to the previous theoretical research and empirical research on -DIr marker in Turkish, especially sentence processing studies, as they present real-time processing of language in order to show current tendencies in studying morphological markers. It concludes that there should be more studies to indicate how processing od –Dir marker occurs and whether there is a developmental pattern in learning this marker.
