Abstract

Causativesare means of expressing an occurrence in which a subject causes a change instate of an event, or makes someone or something else to do something. This studyreports findings in relation to the use of causatives by Turkish learners ofEnglish in their first language (L1) and second language (L2). The study alsoaims to identify ambiguities in English causatives for Turkish learners. Withthis aim in mind, students’ use of causatives in L1 and L2 was identified usingvarious tasks as data collection tools. It was found that, regardless theirlanguage proficiency level, most of students’ use of causatives was influencedby their first language. In addition, the differences between the two languagesin terms of the causative structures were found to cause ambiguities forlearners. Key words: Causative, firstlanguage interference, periphrastic-lexical causatives

Keywords

Abstract

Dilde kullanılan ettirgen yapılar, öznenin bir olayın durumunu değiştirmesi ya da birisine bir şey yaptırması amacıyla kullanılır. Bu çalışma ikinci dil olarak İngilizce öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin ettirgen yapıları kullanmasıyla ilgili bulguları göstermektedir. Çalışmada Türk öğrencilerin İngilizce‟ de kullanılan ettirgen yapıları öğrenmede karşılaştıkları anlam belirsizliklerini de göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Değişik veri toplama araçları kullanılan çalışmanın sonucunda öğrencilerin dil seviyeleri ne olursa olsun çoğu öğrencinin ettirgen yapı kullanımında anadillerinden etkilendikleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Buna ek olarak, iki dil arasındaki farklılıklar öğrencilerin bu yapıları kullanmasında karmaşaya yol açtığı bulunmuştur.
