Corpus-driven Lexical Profiles of the Turkish Synonym Set Sadece, Yalnızca and Yalnız
Abstract
This is a corpus-driven study based on the
TNCv3.0 to identify lexical profiles of the synonym set of Turkish exclusive
adverbials sadece, yalnızca and yalnız within the framework of the Model of Extended Lexical Units (Stubbs, 2002). From the
concordances of the adverbials, their context-dependent semantic, pragmatic and
syntactic properties, co-occurrence tendencies, and synonymity levels were
identified. It was found that sadece
and yalnızca have a high contextual
and collocational equinormality and are completely intersubstitutable and complete synonyms (Lyons, 1981) with yalnızca
used less frequently. Yalnız is
polysemous and multifunctional and has a sense synonymy relation with the
others only when it means only. Even
in the sense of only, yalnız was found to be rarely used in
certain lexical bundles the other adverbials form. Yalnız was also found to have a topic shifter function. In contexts
in which yalnız means only, the three adverbials are cognitive synonyms (Cruse, 1986).
