Abstract
Proposals have been made that Turkish exhibits properties of both object and subject incorporation. However, neither the head-incorporation analysis for object incorporation nor the pseudo-incorporation analysis for subject/agent incorporation can account for data found in Turkish relative clauses. Turkish nominals that are specific must raise for case, and this movement obeys Minimality. Non-specifics must remain in situ. What has been deemed instances of (pseudo-)incorporation are cases where a nominal cannot raise, while examples to the contrary can be explained by a raising requirement on specifics.
