Abstract
Universal base hypotheses maintain the idea that
all languages have the same underlying word order. This is a strong minimalist
argument that bans all parametric variations of word order. However, it is
controversial in the sense that it bears too strong arguments as to the
universality of word order paradigm. The polarization over this hypothesis has
recently increased the conceptual and empirical observations on the phenomenon.
Universal base arguments are grouped into two distinct poles. On the one pole,
we see arguments of Kayne defending the VO order, who claims that OV is
basically derived by leftward movements. On the other pole, Haider (1997, 2000,
2013), Barbiers (2000) and Fukui & Takano (1998, 2000) argue the
universality of OV. With this assumption VO is basically derived by movement of
the verb alone, which makes this word order more basic than VO. The aim of this
study is to discuss the basic arguments of VO over Turkish data and reassess
the arguments.

Abstract
Evrensel Taban
Varsayımı tüm dillerin temelde aynı dizilişe sahip olduğunu öne süren bir
varsayımdır. Bu varsayım, temelde değiştirgene dayalı sözcük dizilişi
görünümlerinden arındığı için yetinmeci olduğu kadar alanyazında sık sık
tartışılan da bir konudur. Bu varsayım üzerindeki kutuplaşma, evrensel tabanın
temelde hangi dizilişle başladığı konusundaki incelemeleri ve deneysel
gözlemleri arttırmıştır. Kutbun bir tarafında, Kayne (1994, 2010) Çizgisel Örtüşme Belitini (Linear
Correspondence Axiom) önermiş ve tüm NE (=OV) dizilişlerinin aslında EN (=VO)
dizilişinden sola doğru taşımalarla türetildiğini belirtmiştir. Diğer kutupta
ise, Haider (1997, 2000, 2013), Barbiers (2000) ile Fukui ve Takano (1998,
2000) gibi araştırıcılar NE-tabanlı bir diziliş önermiş ve bu dizilişin EN’yi
türetmek için yalnızca eylemi taşıması gerektiğinden daha basit bir diziliş
olduğunu savunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı ‘EN temel diziliştir’ savına ilişkin
temel sayıltıları Türkçe üzerinden tartışıp savları yeniden değerlendirmektir.
