Abstract
The book explores the semantic and morphosyntactic representation of affectedness in transitive predicates. It provides a first in-depth investigation of how the properties of undergoing change, functioning as a path to change, and resultativity determine Differential Object Marking in Turkish. On the basis of the findings, affectedness in the lexical syntactic structure is linked to differential accusative marking of direct objects.
