N2  - This paper analyzes aspectual characteristics of change of State verbs,specifically "degree achievements," based on gradable adjectives inTurkish. In terms of temporal properties, these verbs display variablebehaviour: they can refer to either telic or atelic situations. Adoptingthe approach developed by Hay, Kennedy and Levin (1999), thereason of this ambivalence is searched in the gradable nature of thebase adjectives which define a scale. It is the (non)boundedness ofthis scale that determines (a)telicity of the situations which ismaintained by the deadjectival degree achievements. This paper alsoillustrates the effects of linguistic materials (degree modifiers,measure phrases) and contextual interpretations on the (a)telicity ofthese deadjectival degree achievements.
