The Morphological Categorization of Polymorphemic Lexemes: A Study Based on Lexicalized Fingerspelled Forms in TİD

Türk İşaret Dilinin (TİD) sözlükçesinin %6sını el alfabesinden alınıp dilin işaretbirim yapısına uyarlanmış sözcükler oluşturur (Taşçı 2012). Bu sözcüklerin çoğunluğunda el alfabesinden alınıp özleştirilmiş bir kök TİDin temel söz dağarcığında bulunan bir kökle birleşerek yeni bir sözcük oluşturur. Bu çalışmada bu tür sözcüklerin biçimyapısal ulamlarını, sessel dillere dayanarak yapılan sınıflandırmayı esas alarak saptamaya çalışıyor, tamlama, harman (blend) ve kesme (clipping) ulamlarının işaret dillerine nasıl yansıdığını inceliyor, eşanlı düzlemin sessel dillere oranla karmaşıklığının bir sonucu olarak, bu ulamların da farklı görünümleri ve dağılımları olduğunu öne sürüyoruz.

Çokköklü Sözcüklerin Biçimyapısal Sınıflandırması: TİDde Sözlükselleşmiş Harfler İçeren Sözcükler Üstüne Bir Çalışma

Lexicalized fingerspelled forms constitute 6% of the Turkish Sign Language (TİD) lexicon (Taşçı, 2012). A considerable portion of these items is lexemes derived through the combination of a nativized stem from the manual alphabet and a stem from the core lexicon of TİD. In this study, we determine the morphological categories of such lexemes. We argue that the categories compound, blend, and clipping have different realizations in sign languages compared to those in spoken languages due to the differences in the manifestation of phonological mechanisms in sign language morphology.
