Turkish English majors frequently have difficulty understanding how to use verb +
preposition combinations in forms of prepositional verbs in English. This is not surprising
because verb + preposition combinations do not exist in Turkish morphology and syntax.
Verb + preposition structures are generally confused with verb + particles because they
are different from each other. “The term particle specifically refers to prepositions and
adverbs that have combined with verbs to make new verbs and have thus lost their
prepositional or adverbial function” (Decapua 147). These differences are by no means
always easy to understand because some verbs can even be either phrasal or
prepositional, depending on the circumstances. The topic of this article is the stress and
intonation of prepositional verbs, which depend on literal meanings of verbs that combine
a verb and a preposition to make a new verb with a distinct meaning.

Anahtar Kelimeler

prepositional verbs, phrasal verbs, particle, stranded preposition

Dil Öğretmenleri için Edatlı Eylemlere karşı Öbeksel Eylemlerin Vurgu ve Tonlama Arka Planı

Öz

Türk İngilizce öğretmenliği adayları, genellikle eylem + edat birliktelikleri karşılarına
edatlı eylem olarak gelince, bu birliktelikleri anlamakta güçlük çekmektedirler. Bu durum
şaşırtıcı değildir, çünkü edatlı eylem yapısı Türk biçimbilgisi ve sözdiziminde yoktur.
Edatlı eylem yapıları genellikle öbeksel eylem yapılarıyla karıştırılır, çünkü bu iki yapı
birbirinden farlıdır. Edat terimi, özellikle edatlar ve zarfların yeni bir eylem türü yapmak
için eylemlerle bir araya gelerek, edatsal ve zarfsal özelliğini kaybetmesi oluşumuna
özellikle işaret eder “(Decapua, 2008: 147).” Bu farklılıkları anlamak hiç de kolay değildir,
çünkü bazı eylemler duruma bağlı olarak ya öbeksel ya da edatsal bile olabilirler. Bu
makalenin konusu, edatlı eylemlerin düz anlamlarına dayanarak farklı bir anlam
oluşturduğu durumlardaki vurgu ve tonlamasını oluşumlarını incelemektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

edatlı eylem, öbeksel eylem, edat, ayrımlanmış edat
