The acquisition of quantification across languages: Some predictions. Katsos, Napoleon; Ezeizabarrena, Maria-jose; Cummins, Chris; Gavarro, Anna; Kraljevic, Jelena Kuvac; Özge, Duygu; Hrzica, Gordana; Grohmann, Kleanthes K.; Hassan, Saima; Chan, Cecilia Yuet Hung; Okubo, Tomoya; Van Der Lely, Heather; Sauerland, Uli; Noveck, Ira (null; 2012-04-01) In this paper we review factors that are expected to affect the order of acquisition of quantifiers across languages. We draw a distinction between language-wide and language-specific factors as well as factors that relate to the biological and social profile of the learner (such as gender, socio-economic status and schooling). We then propose predictions for what cross-linguistically similar patterns may arise.This exposition provides the theoretical backgroundagainst...
The processing of morphologically complex words by developing readers of Turkish: a masked priming study Oğuz, Enis; Kırkıcı, Bilal (2022-11-01) The processing of morphologically complex words has been studied in many languages, leading to a variety of theoretical accounts. Prime type, individual differences, and cross-linguistic effects have emerged as potential factors in morphological processing, but the findings so far have been inconclusive, especially for young children. This study investigated the early stages of morphological processing in Turkish-speaking children using the visual masked priming paradigm. We used different prime conditions ...
The processing of morphologically complex words in a specific speaker group A masked-priming study with Turkish heritage speakers Jacob, Gunnar; Kırkıcı, Bilal (John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2016-01-01) The present study investigates to what extent morphological priming varies across different groups of native speakers of a language. In two masked-priming experiments, we investigate the processing of morphologically complex Turkish words in Turkish heritage speakers raised and living in Germany. Materials and experimental design were based on Kirkici and Clahsen's (2013) study on morphological processing in Turkish native speakers and L2 learners, allowing for direct comparisons between the three groups. E...
The processing of relative clause attachment ambiguities in Turkish Kırkıcı, Bilal (2004-01-01) The aim of this study is to investigate the way native speakers of Turkish resolve relative clause (RC) attachment ambiguities in sentences which contain a relative clause followed by a complex noun phrase with two potential attachment sites. The structures under investigation are relative clauses followed by complex NPs with genitive constructions [NP1GEN+NP2] as in (1) and relative clauses followed by complex NPs containing postpositional phrases [[NP1 P]PP+NP2] as in (2): (1) ABD’de ya∑ayan aktörün o©lu ...
The processing of English-Turkish (false) cognates: what is the role of morphology? Kırkıcı, Bilal; Ataman, Esra (2018-05-25) Words that have similar orthographic and/or phonological properties in two languages but little or no semantic similarity (e.g., German Tag - day vs. English tag) are known as false cognates. Although there have been numerous studies investigating the processing of (false) cognates, the effect of morphology has to date been largely ignored (cf. Janke & Kolokonte, 2015). Moreover, studies on the processing of (false) cognates have mostly focused on typologically-related language pairs like English-German, di...
