Özet:

The aim of this study is to define the features of verb subcategorization under thetitle of letter “A” in Dictionary of Current Turkish on Turkish Language Societyofficial web site and to offer a suggestion for these verb to take part in TurkishDictionaries. Our study is based on the features of verb categorization and subcategorization analyzed under the title of Theta Theory (Chomsky, 1981). The object of our study, Turkish verbs, are automatically chosen from Dictionary ofCurrent Turkish database by Dokuz Eylül University Natural Langugage ReportingGroup. Because of time and location constraint, only one word verbs have beenanalyzed under the title of “A” letter. In this context, 414 different verbs and their838 hyponyms and connotations have been analyzed. At the end of this study, in different meanings of the verbs, different subcategorizes have been determined. Forinstance, while a meaning of a verb requires only x and y, a different meaning canrequire x, y and z, and in different meanings these verbs can be indicated by different case markers. Because of the fact that only morphosyntactic features of theverbs are considered in this study, both structural and semantic features such asagent, experiencer, theme, goal, source etc. of all verbs can be involved in furtherstudies. It is suggested that these acquired data may take place in an integrated wayin Turkish dictionaries
