Nakipoğlu, Mine & Üntak, Aslı 2008. A complete verb lexicon of Turkish based on
morphemic analysis. Turkic Languages 12, 221-280.

This study presents the first complete verb lexicon of Modern Turkish. An exhaustive
investigation of the TDK Dictionary (1998) has shown that the verb count of simplex
verbs of Turkish is about 4700. The lexicon is laid out in two appendices: Appendix 1
lists the monosyllabic verbs of Turkish; Appendix 2a groups the derivational morpheme
bearing verbs in 34 distinct categories and reveals that the five most productive verb
deriving affixes in Modern Turkish are -lA, -lAş, -lAn, -DA and -In. Appendix 2b com-
prises Turkish verbs which are identical to adjective and noun roots and compound verbs
as listed in the TDK Dictionary. Appendix 2c contains the reflexive, reciprocal and causa-
tive verbs of Turkish.

1. Introduction
Unlike most other languages, Turkish presents a wide array of affixes added to roots
in deriving verbs. This paper aims to provide the first complete lexicon of Turkish
verbs where the verbs are segmented and classified with respect to the derivational
morphemes they bear. To that aim, the Turkish Language Association Dictionary
(TDK sözlüğü) and the Turkish Writing Guide (Türkçe yazım kılavuzu) have been
scanned and verbs used in standard Turkish have been categorized regarding their
morphemic properties. The primary sources used in the morpheme-based categoriza-
tion of Turkish verbs have been Banguoğlu (1986) and Korkmaz (2003).
The present study is the first of its kind in its attempt to determine the verb count
of Turkish by examining the entire Turkish verb lexicon and providing an exhaus-
tive compilation of verbs. A thorough scanning of the sources mentioned above has
revealed that the number of verbs in Turkish is about 4700 (4669). Of these verbs
only 221 are monosyllabic. The alphabetical list of the monosyllabic verbs of Turk-
ish has been given in Appendix 1. The present study comprises one more appendix
consisting of three parts where an exhaustive morpheme-based classification of
Turkish verbs is laid out. Appendix 2a lists Turkish verbs derived by derivational
affixes. Appendix 2b comprises verb roots which are identical to nominal and
adjectival roots and compound verbs formed with the auxiliary verbs et- ‘to do’,
