Kazakh as spoken in China, like other Turkic languages, distinguishes between two types of complement clauses. In Kazakh, one is based on the action nominal {-Ụ2w} and the other on other action nominals as, for instance, {-G4A2n}. The present paper deals with the complement-taking matrix predicates that select the complementizer {-Ụ2w}. These matrix predicates fall into four semantic types expressing: (i) modality; (ii) manner; (iii) evaluation; (iv) purpose.
