‘Tikel’ Kavramının Mantıksal Yapısı ve Türkçedeki Kullanımları

Abstract

Turkish words such as “bazı” (some), “en az bir” (at least one) and “birkaç” (a few) show a particular extension and indicate a partial loading to the subject of the sentence. This situation, which seems simple at first glance, is the result of the ontological relationship of these two concepts in simple prop-ositions consisting of subject and predicate. The universal and particular prop-ositions appear in four standard forms depending on whether they are positive or negative. The subject and predicate of these propositions also consist of uni-versal concepts. Thus, the style of the species-genus relationship within the sentence structure of the two universal concepts leads to the universal or par-ticular of the proposition. In addition, the proposition suggests the existence or the absence as a result due to the emphasis of the particular to the existence and of the universal to the absence. This study will show that there is an exis-tential load of the particular by discussing these relations at the conceptual and propositional level and exhibiting ontological aspects.
