Compound Psych Constructions in Turkish
Bouchard (1995) argues that it is not only the psychological nouns and verbs but also the psychological constructions in their all forms are subject to analysis as the linguistic manifestations of psychological states in a language. In Turkish, psychological states can be expressed with compound forms as well as by lexical means. The paper analyzes compound constructions in Turkish which have psych meanings from two different points of view;1. according to the structural properties of their components2. according to their relation with psychological verb types in Turkish proposed in İbe (2004).The analysis shows that compound psych constructions in Turkish form distinct classes which require that the above mentioned classification should be revised in the proposed way in order to cover the psychological constructions other than the verbal ones.Key words: Argument structure, lexical semantics, verb semantics.
