Summary/Abstract: Traditional descriptions in Turkish grammar consider interrogative sentences as a class determined by the semantic typology and do not present detailed analysis about them. However, in the area of teaching Turkish as a foreign language, more is needed than those traditional findings. This study, proposes a very detailed classification on the Turkish interrogative structure. This proposal is based upon the findings that were established in a generally accepted framework in recent modern linguistic studies.
