Abstract

Bu çalışma, görünüş kuramlarındaki (Krifka, 1989; Dowty, 1991; Tenny, 1994) savların tersine Türkçede artımlı-konu yüklemlerinin (incremental theme predicates) nesneleri çıplak adöbekleri (bare noun phrases) olduğunda, yüklemin anlattığı olayın hedefte-bitişli (telic) okunabileceğini; aynı tür yüklemlerin nesneleri durum ekli, sayılabilir adöbekleri olduğunda, yüklemin anlattığı olayın hem hedefte-bitişli hem de hedefte-bitişsiz (atelic) yorumlanabileceğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu yazı, artımlı konu yüklemlerinin hedefte-bitişlilik yorumlarında sadece dilsel araçları kullanmanın yeterli olmadığını, kullanımbilimsel, bağlam ve dünya bilgisine dayalı açıklamaların görünüş yorumlarındaki yerini de tartışmaktadır.
