Semantic Criteria<br />

It is your turn!<br />

As mentioned earlier, prototypical <strong>ve</strong>rbs are those denoting rapid changes in the<br />

7 uni<strong>ve</strong>rse. 7They<br />

are characteristically e<strong>ve</strong>nts <strong>and</strong> actions.<br />

Morphological It is your Criteria turn!<br />

8 The most 8 salient signal for <strong>ve</strong>rbhood is probably the infiniti<strong>ve</strong> morpheme -mAk<br />

which can be attached to all <strong>ve</strong>rbs: gelmek, uyumak, olmak, bilmek, oturadurmak.<br />

Compare the It is your ungrammaticality turn!<br />

in the following when it is used with a noun<br />

9 *an›mak, 9an<br />

adjecti<strong>ve</strong> *güzelmek, an ad<strong>ve</strong>rb *h›zl›camak, a postposition *içinmek,<br />

a pronoun * benmek, <strong>and</strong> a conjunction *<strong>ve</strong>mek . Inflectional contrasts, too, provide<br />

another distincti<strong>ve</strong> property of <strong>ve</strong>rbs. They manifest themsel<strong>ve</strong>s as tense, aspect,<br />

It is your turn!<br />

mood, voice, agreement, <strong>and</strong> negation markers on <strong>ve</strong>rbs. The ungrammaticality of<br />

10<br />

*k›rm›z›yor, *yumuflak›flt›, *h›zl›cam <strong>and</strong> *fakatmal› shows that morphemes<br />

marking aspect, voice, agreement, <strong>and</strong> mood are disallowed in non-<strong>ve</strong>rbal contexts.<br />

It is your turn!<br />

Only after con<strong>ve</strong>rting these forms into <strong>ve</strong>rbs can the <strong>ve</strong>rbal suffixes be used with<br />

11 them: k›rm›z›lafl›yor, 11 yumuflaklaflt›, h›zl<strong>and</strong>›m, fakatlamamal›.<br />

Prototypical <strong>ve</strong>rbs are tensed <strong>and</strong> all <strong>ve</strong>rbs ha<strong>ve</strong> tensed forms. In terms of their<br />

derivational It is structure, your turn! <strong>ve</strong>rbs from nouns <strong>and</strong> adjecti<strong>ve</strong>s are deri<strong>ve</strong>d with the<br />

12 morphemes 12 such as -Al, (azal-), -dA (›fl›lda-), -lA (avla-), -sA (susa-) as well as<br />

de<strong>ve</strong>rbal <strong>ve</strong>rbal stems with morphemes such as -mA (görüflme), -Ar (kopar-), -n<br />

(difllen), -(y)Ifl (girifl), -t (titret). The <strong>ve</strong>ry producti<strong>ve</strong> suffix -(y) IcI is also attached<br />

It is your turn!<br />

to <strong>ve</strong>rbs to form nouns as in sürücü, azmettirici, ba¤lay›c›, besleyici, betimleyici,<br />

13 13<br />

binici, arabulucu, büyüleyici, c<strong>and</strong><strong>and</strong>›r›c›, ferahtat›c›, cayd›r›c›. So, these<br />

morphemes may be representati<strong>ve</strong> of <strong>ve</strong>rbhood.<br />

Distributional Criteria<br />

Tensed <strong>ve</strong>rbs function as the head of predicates/clau<strong>ses</strong> (see Unit 11 for more).<br />

Therefore, they are the most central/go<strong>ve</strong>rning unit in the predicate so they restrict<br />

other elements in the predicate/clause.<br />

*Onu gitti.<br />

*Kardeflim doktor söyledi.<br />

states<br />

bil-, sev-, ol-, um<br />

yaflasevdal›<br />

ol-<br />

The <strong>ve</strong>rb bul- in (8) allows a direct object noun phrase, but -git does not. So, the<br />

test for transitivity is Direct Object Noun ___, <strong>and</strong> the one for intransitivity is ___:
