Abstract :ABSTRACT This paper discusses the depictive secondary predication in the Turkish language with respect to its syntax and semantics and focuses on two issues: insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i); theta role assignment and insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ii); checking the case of the nominal argument as either the subject or object. This study proposes that depictive secondary predication structures include a depictive predicate whose function is to modify the subject or object argument of the main verb, and the depictive predicate is an adjunct of the main predicate, unlike resultative predicates which are complements. The study also proposes the syntactic derivation of the depictive structures to be explainable under the hybrid small clause analysis, according to which the small clause adjoins to the verb phrase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VP);. The subject position of the small clause is filled with a pronominal determiner phrase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PRO);, which takes the theta role of the depictive predicate.
