Can you have a "real" decomposition of differential forms on a symplectic manifold?

With a choice of (almost) complex structure on a symplectic (Kahler) manifold, has anyone thought of how or what it means to globally define "real" versions of the Dolbeault operators?

i.e. Something like

$\partial_x : \Omega_x^k(M) \oplus \Omega_y^l(M) \to \Omega_x^{k+1}(M)\oplus \Omega_y^l(M)$

and

$\partial_y : \Omega_x^k(M) \oplus \Omega_y^l(M) \to \Omega_x^k(M)\oplus \Omega_y^{l+1}(M)$

with $d=\partial_x + \partial_y$ where, in Darboux coordinates for example, $\Omega^1_x(M)$ is spanned by the $dx^i$ and $\Omega^1_x(M)$ by the $dy^j$.
