Abstract:

Verbs in the language are basically evaluated in two categories in terms of entity relevance: process and action. This is also a requirement of the fact that verbs are the equivalents of process or action in the language. In this respect, some of the verbs in the language need a doer to take place while some do not. This is actually related to the basic meaning of verbs. However, the situation may not be the same with the connotations that emerge over time. In other words, while a verb in the sentence with its basic meaning is the action verb when it is used with one of its connotations, it can be a process verb, and also it can be an action verb even though it is a process verb. This shows that the meanings that appear in the syntax of the language determine whether the verbs are process or action. In this context, the verb “git-”, which has a high frequency of use in Turkish, has been evaluated in terms of being a process verb or an action verb, based on its meanings in Turkish. As a result of the evaluation, it was revealed that the verb “git-” has the feature of a process verb in some meanings and an action verb in some meanings.
