Geçişlilik ve Dilbilgisinin Bazı Alanlarına Yansımaları

Abstract

Fiiller geleneksel biçimde, aldıkları tamamlayıcılara göre geçişli ve
geçişsiz olarak sınıflandırılırken, zorunlu tamamlayıcı olarak nesne almadan
cümle oluşumuna olanak veren fiiller geçişsiz fiiller olarak
adlandırılmaktadırlar. Ancak, 1980’lerin başında, geçişsiz filler, sözdizimsel
ve anlamsal özellikleri dikkate alınarak daha ileri bir sınıflamaya tabi
tutulmuşlardır.
Bu çalışmada, önce “walk”, “smile”, “dream”, “swim” gibi, geçişsiz fiillerin
bir sınıfını oluşturan fiillerle, “appear”, “emerge”, “exist”, “occur” gibi,
geçişsiz fillerin diğer sınıfını oluşturan fiillerin arasındaki farklılık,
sözdizimsel ve anlamsal gösterimlerinin kıyaslanmasıyla ortaya konmakta,
ardından bu farklılıkların fiillerden isim türetme, fillerden sıfat türetme ve
üçüncü çoğul şahıs zamirinin anlamlandırılması gibi dilbilgisinin değişik
konuları üzerindeki etkileri tartışılmaktadır.
Çalışmanın sonunda da tartışılan konular, Ausubel’in Anlamlı Öğrenme
Kuramı çerçevesinde, dilbilgisi öğretimi ile ilişkilendirilmektedir.
