Ekinsu Özkazanç, The Semantics of the Nominalizer –(y)Iş: Dimensions of Factivity and Manner
In an attempt to understand the semantics of –(y)Iş better, this thesis aims to systematically distinguish imperfect -(y)Iş nominals from perfect -(y)Iş nominals, manner-denoting -(y)Iş nominals from eventuality-denoting ones, identify the types of eventuality denoted, and identify the factivity status of eventuality-denoting -(y)Iş nominals. We suggested sets of tests for each category, and we applied these tests to a sample set of data to demonstrate that they can be used to reliably and accurately make these distinctions.
