According to Kachru's (1992) concentric circles framework, the use of English across countries can be grouped into three circles: an inner circle in which English is the native language, e.g., the UK; an outer circle in which English serves certain functions due to colonization, e.g., India; and an expanding circle in which English is taught as a f...

Hemen hepimiz hayatımızda en az bir kez aşık olmuşuzdur, aşkla yoğrulmuşuzdur. Duygu yoğunluğundan dolayı aklımız başımızdan gitmiştir. Aşık olduğumuz kişi (veya şey) karşımıza çıktığında veya aklımıza geldiğinde her şeyi unutuvermişizdir. Aşık olduğunda her insan aynı şeyi hisseder mi? Aşık olduğumuzda beynimizde neler olup bitiyor da bizi bu kada...

There are several indicators that distinguish an academic discipline, including journals, conferences, and graduate programs. One of them is the presence of academic publications in well-regarded citation indices such as Web of Science (WoS). This study explored the bibliometric characteristics of publications on “second language writing” (SLW) cov...

This is first book about Turkish Sign Language grammar*.

There are two types of natural human languages: spoken and signed. Following the seminal works by Tervoort (1953) and Stokoe (1960), linguistic explorations over the past five decades or so have shown that sign languages possess several unique properties due to their visual-gestural basis. Signs are composed of minimal units such as manuals (shapes...

Dil bir kâğıda benzetilebilir: Düşünce kâğıdın ön yüzü, ses ise arka yüzüdür. Kâğıdın ön yüzünü kestiniz mi, ister istemez arka yüzünü de kesmiş olursunuz. Dilde de durum aynıdır: Ne ses düşünceden ayrılabilir ne de düşünce sesten. Peki, ses olmadığında ne olur? Düşünce nasıl gelişir? Bu iki soru, dilbilimcileri işitme engelliliği, sağırlık, dil ve...

The path and manner of objects in motion events have been studied in many languages. Previous research has focused on whether both path and manner are expressed in the main verb and whether manner can be omitted due to saliency, narrative style, or available linguistic constructions of a particular language. However, it is unknown to what extent la...

Prosodic words in Turkish are generated according to the palatal and labial Vowel Harmony (VH) rules: being left-to-right iterative, (1) any suffix vowel agrees with the preceding vowel with the [back] feature and (2) a high vowel agrees with the preceding vowel with the [round] feature. However, bare forms, compounds, affixes of foreign origin, so...

Kachru's (1992) Eccentric Circles framework has been very influential in understanding and explaining trends in the unprecedented spread of English around the world. However, so far the research within the World Englishes paradigm has focused mostly on Inner and Outer Circle countries and their English varieties (Seidlhofer, 2009), rather than Expa...

Recently, many studies have examined the phonological parameters in sign languages from various research perspectives, paying close attention in particular to manual parameters such as handshape, place of articulation, movement, and orientation of the hands. However, these studies have been conducted on only a few sign languages such as American an...

This study investigates bibliometric characteristics of publications on sign languages indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Science Citation Index between 1900 and 2013, and arts and humanities citation index between 1975 and 2013 in web of science (WoS). There were 2460 scientific publications on sign languages from a variety...

This study investigated the use of classifiers in Turkish Sign Language (TID) while describing static and motion events. As expected, the results showed that TID uses classifiers to mark objects' intrinsic features as well as their location and motion polymorphemically. The results indicated that a particular TID classifier can be used to mark a se...

What contributions do researchers in the social sciences and humanities in Turkey make to science internationally?

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: Since, perhaps, the publication of Pederson et al. (1998) and Levinson (2003), there has been growing interest in studying the language of spatial representations. The present book, the eleventh in the series Language, culture and cognition, is another invaluable addition to this fiel...

Signers use their body and the space in front of them iconically. Does iconicity lead to the same mapping strategies in construing space during interaction across sign languages? The present study addressed this question by conducting an experimental study on basic static and motion event descriptions during interaction (describer input and address...

Much evidence points to the conclusion that temporal concepts are drawn primarily from the conceptualization of space. Sign languages provide a particularly suitable area for observing such a relationship since they employ a three-dimensional signing space as a major building block for articulation. This paper addresses spatial and temporal languag...

Research has shown that spoken languages differ from each other in their representation of space. Using hands, body, and physical space in front of signers to represent space, do sign languages differ from each other? To what extent are they similar to spoken languages in their expressions of spatial relations? The present study targeted these ques...

Describing Motion Events in Sign Languages Research has shown that sign languages represent space by using the body and the signing space in front of the signers. To date, it is largely unknown to what extent sign languages differ from one another in their linguistic use of space. The present study addressed this question by conducting an experimen...

New investigations continue to provide insights into the linguistic realization of possession. Stassen (2009) is one of the new typologically motivated studies of predicative possession. The current book is yet another which offers a variety of analyses to contribute to our knowledge of possession from typologically diverse language families. This...
