Language learning from the perspective of nonlinear dynamic systems
Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Peltzer-Karpf, Annemarie (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2009-01-01)
This article outlines a nonlinear dynamic systems approach to language learning on the basis of developmental cognitive neuroscience. Language learning, on this view, is a process of experience-dependent shaping and selection of broadly defined domain-general and domain-specific genetic predispositions. The central concept of development is (neuro) cognitive,e growth in terms of self-organization. Linguistic structure-building is synergetic and emergent insofar as the acquisition of a critical mass of eleme...
Language learning in conflictual contexts: a study of Turkish Cypriot adolescents learning Greek in Cyprus
Tum, Danyal Oztas; Kunt, Naciye; Kunt, Mehmet (Informa UK Limited, 2016-05-03)

An Experimental study on abstract anaphora resolution in Turkish written discourse
Ergin Somer, Rabiye; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2012)
This thesis provides an experimental approach to abstract anaphora resolution in Turkish written discourse. The core of this work consists of identifying various manifestations of abstract anaphoric expressions –bu vs. bu durum, bu olay, bu iş, bu gerçek (bu as the bare abstract object anaphor vs. bu+label abstract anaphors)- in Turkish discourse, and investigating whether any difference is observed in their processing. To this end, two offline experiments are conducted with human subjects, and the results ...
English skills needed for graduate study in the US: Multiple perspectives
Seferoğlu, Gölge (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2001-07-05)
This paper reports on a study of needs analysis conducted with Turkish government-sponsored students who are studying towards master’s or doctoral degrees in the US and with students who attended a specific language program in Ankara, Turkey before they started graduate programs in the US. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to gather information about these students’ needs in learning English from both graduate students’ and prospective graduate students’ perspectives, and (2) to explore the extent...
