This study investigates the problem of quantifier scope ambiguity in natural languages and the various ways with which it has been accounted for, some of which are problematic for monotonic theories of grammar like Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) which strive for solutions that avoid non-monotonic functional application, and assume complete transparency between the syntax and the semantics interface of a language. Another purpose of this thesis is to explore these proposals on examples from Turkish and to try to account for the meaning differences that may be caused by word order and see how the observations from Turkish fit within the framework of CCG.

Probabilistic learning of Turkish morphosemantics by latent syntax
Üstün, Ahmet; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2017)
The language processing capability of humans is highly dependent on the transparent interface between syntax and semantics which is formalized as the grammar. Morphology also interferes with this interface, in languages having rich morphology such as Turkish. This thesis aims to discover word semantics in Turkish from the compositional morphosemantics by underlying latent syntax. A computational model has been developed to learn a morpheme lexicon in which each morpheme contains semantic information in logi...
Examining the mediating effect of science self-efficacy on the relationship between metavariables and science achievement
Kirbulut, Zubeyde Demet; Kondakçı, Esen (Informa UK Limited, 2019-05-24)
Current studies reveal that meta-level variables are very important in learning; however, little research has been devoted to the role of metaconceptual and meta-affective variables on student achievement. With the aim of filling this gap in the literature, the present study investigated the relationship between metavariables (metaconceptual awareness, metaconceptual regulation, affective awareness, and affective regulation) and science achievement with the mediating effect of science self-efficacy through ...
A type system for combinatory categorial grammar
Erkan, Güneş; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
This thesis investigates the internal structure and the computational representation of the lexical entries in Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). A restricted form of typed feature structures is proposed for representing CCG categories. This proposal is combined with a constraint-based modality system for basic categories of CCG. We present some linguistic evidence to explain why both a uni cation-based feature system and a constraint-based modality system are needed for a lexicalist framework. An implem...
THE INVESTIGATION OF NOVICE PROGRAMMERS' DEBUGGING BEHAVIORS TO INFORM INTELLIGENT E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: A CASE STUDY
TÜRKMEN, GAMZE; Caner, Sonay (Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2020-07-01)
This study aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the debugging process in programming teaching in terms of cognitive and metacognitive aspects, based on programming students who demonstrate low, medium, and high programming performance and to propose instructional strategies for scaffolding novice learners in an effective way. Data were collected from 41 novice programming students from C++ and Python programming language courses of the same instructor in the scope of case study meth...
Idioms as multi-word expressions in Turkish
Güven, Arzu Burcu; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2020-10)
Idioms constitute several challenges for both Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistic analysis. A better understanding of idioms will yield valuable insights about natural language as well as the way it is processed. The relevance of idioms, along with the fact that Turkish is a rather unexplored language from this perspective, motivates us to work on Turkish idioms. Here, we aim to demonstrate a grammatical study on Turkish idioms that were selected in accordance with distributional models.
