Raising constructions are the constructions when a subject/object of a subordinate clause is moved to the subject/object position of a so-called “higher” clause thus categorized as “raised” (Callies, 2008). While there are 3 types of raising constructions in English, there is only one in Turkish. Since Turkish only allows Subject-toObject Raising (henceforth SOR) (Callies, 2008), we focus on the acquisition of Subject-to-Subject Raising (henceforth SSR), which seems to be typologically rare as it involves what is called A-movement over an experiencer that occupies a place structurally lower compared to the subject. Therefore, in this paper, we hypothesize that the acquisition of SSR will be problematic for Turkish native speakers, entertaining two different approaches, namely Differential Markedness Hypothesis and SSR being rare even in languages allowing them to occur.}, pages = {35--44}, title = {Sercan seems to Sena to be a Linguist!
