Turkish term or phrase: BULUNMAKTADIR
This form of 'bulunmak' occurs in a description of the above author. The quote is as follows:-
Oykulerinin yanisira, cocuk kitaplari, tiyatro ve sinema eserleri BULUNMAKTADIR. I know the sentence reads roughly in English 'As well as stories, children's books, works for theatre & cinema ??find themselves?? & what does -ta- mean with 'bulunmak'. It can mean 'when' but that makes no sense here.

Thanks to all for their excellent help! Tim & Recep have elucidated for me the use of the present progressive tense. Lewis's grammar does say that the -makta- suffix is literary but now spreading to the spoken language.
