Deriving Comparatives, Deadjectival Verbs and (Irregular) Causatives in Turkish
Original language description
In Turkish, there are at least three different morphological classes of roots regarding the forms of the adjective and the related verbs. Class 1 shows an invariant root, e.g. kısa, the comparative marker daha, the inchoative suffix -l and the causative -t. Classes 2 and 3 have adjectives ending with -k. These have been argued to be bimophemic, taking the consonant to be a separate functional head (Atlamaz and Dikmen2024, Turk 2020). Interestingly, this consonant disappears in the verbal forms both in Class 2 and 3. This is unexpected in view of the proposal by Bobaljik (2012), who proposes that deadjectival verbs build on the comparative, which embeds the (positive-degree) adjective. Class 2 and 3 differ in the morphology of the causative, where Class 3 lacks not only the adjectival -k, but also any verbalizing morphology. We show how Nanosyntax handles the puzzle of the unexpectedly disappearing markers, using the idea of phrasal lexicalization.
