Summary: This monograph by Semra Kızılkaya examines the notion of affectedness in transitive predicates, focusing on how changes to participants in events influence differential object marking, particularly in Turkish. The book provides an empirical and theoretical exploration of the semantic distinctions between affected and non-affected objects, and how these distinctions affect optional accusative marking patterns. It investigates the interaction of verbal semantic properties like telicity with nominal semantic properties such as specificity and animacy. Utilizing a semantically motivated structural account, the work explores the interplay between agentivity and affectedness, contributing new empirical data and theoretical insights into the field of linguistics. This scholarly work is intended for linguists and researchers interested in syntax, semantics, and language structurePPN: PPN: 1916230814Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
