Abstract

Derlemler ile birleştiğinde, kullanıma dayalı yapı gramer, dilsel fenomenler için bilişsel anlamda makul olmayı amaçlar. Bu bağlamda, bu makale Türkçede kanıtsallığı analiz etmek için yapı gramer ve kullanıma dayalı yaklaşımları bir araya getirmektedir. Türkçe kullanım temelli bir bakış açısıyla incelenmiş olsa da kullanım temelli yapı gramerci bir yaklaşımda kanıtsallık şu ana dek ele alınmamıştır. Derlemler, ilişkilendirme ölçüleri ve ‘yapıyı’ bir kavram ve çerçeve olarak kullanan bu makale, Kanıtsallık Yapısını taksonomik bir şekilde tanımlamaktadır. İlk olarak anlamsal özelliklerini ana hatlarıyla belirtir ve daha sonra faith, delta (∆) p ve ITECX gibi ilişkilendirme ölçütlerini kullanarak kullanım modelini ve derlemlere dayalı istatistiksel tercihlerini açıklar. Makale bu yapının üst ve alt düzey, öğeye özel örneklerini göstermektedir. İlişkilendirme ölçümlerinden ve kanıtsallık yapıları ailesinden elde edilen sonuçlar gelecekteki dilbilim çalışmalarına hizmet edebilir.

A Usage-Based Constructionist Approach to Evidentiality in Turkish: The Unevidentiality Construction

Abstract

Coupled with corpora, usage-based construction grammar aims to provide cognitive plausibility for linguistic phenomena. In this vein, this paper combines construction grammar and usage-based approaches to analyze evidentiality in Turkish. While Turkish has been analyzed from a usage-based perspective, evidentiality has not been taken up in a usage-based constructionist approach. By using corpora, association measures, and construction as a notion and a framework, this paper defines the Unevidentiality Construction in a taxonomic space. First, it outlines its semantic properties and then it uses association measures such as faith, delta (∆) p, and ITECX to determine its usage pattern and statistical biases based on corpora. The paper demonstrates a superordinate and lower-level, item-specific instantiations of the construction. The results from association measures and the family of unevidentiality constructions can serve for future linguistic endeavors.
