Affectedness: Observations on Turkish
Abstract
This study aims to describe the linguistic concept of affectedness that is mostly intuitively but not clearly defined though it has been used frequently in the related literature in Turkish. It is referred to in many studies in syntax, semantics, and pragmatics in Turkish, yet not studied on its own and undefined comprehensively. The study analyzes this semantic primitive on the constructed and natural language data in Turkish. With that aim, firstly the literature on different languages and proposed diagnostic tests will be reviewed, then the question of which verbs can be the affecting ones in Turkish will be addressed within the scope of English classifications. After then, combinations of Turkish verbs and their case marked arguments will be overviewed, the typical potentially affecting transitive action verb kır-, the typical potentially affecting transitive psychological verb üz- and the postpositions üst- and üzeri- in Turkish will be examined in terms of affectedness in natural language data. The main purpose of the study is to clear the ground for further studies in Turkish which will potentially use this semantic primitive.
