Laz has a rich verb classification system. While the language presents robust morphological correlates of argument structure, it also exhibits finer morphological distinctions that have been argued to encode less canonical semantic features. This paper argues that these distinctions merely constitute inflection classes in the synchronic grammar of Laz but could be a residue of a grammar where these semantic features were active in exponent selection.

Lazca zengin bir eylem sınıflandırma sistemine sahiptir. Dilde üye yapısının güçlü biçimbirimsel yansımaları dışında, önceki çalışmalarda daha atipik anlamsal özellikleri karşıladığı savunulan biçimbirimsel sınıflandırmalar da vardır. Bu çalışma, bu ayrımların Lazcanın eşsüremli dilbilgisinde sadece çekim sınıflarına karşılık geldiğini ve önerilen anlamsal özelliklerin biçimbirim seçimini belirleyebildiği bir dönemden kalıntı olduğunu savunmaktadır.
