The main objective of this study is to investigate and find out the contribution of interjections as indicators of understanding in an Azerbaijani-Turkish Lingua Receptiva (LaRa) communication within the framework of Functional Pragmatics. The data utilized in this study were collected by video recording four Turkish and two university Azerbaijani native speakers who had paired each other and played a world famous guessing game Taboo. The length of data obtained from these recordings is circa two hours. The data obtained from these recordings were transcribed using the transcription software EXMARaLDA. Moreover, phonological features of the Turkish and Azerbaijani interjections were analyzed using PRAAT. Turkish and Azerbaijani interjections, as in all world languages, have been a neglected subject matter (Ameka, 1992) in linguistic studies. In this study, it has been aimed at contributing the literature in the field. According to the findings of the present study, there are instances which overlap and vary with respect to Turkish and Azerbaijani interlocutors’ (non-)understanding. There are some other features influencing the functions of interjections in addition to the extralinguistic phenomena which are beyond the scope of the present study.

Güler Işık, Hale; Ruhi, Şükriye; Department of English Language Education (2008)
Adopting an eclectic analytic perspective of discourse analysis, conversation analysis and functional approaches, this study conducts an in-depth pragmatic analysis and describes the function of three pragmatic particles yani, iste and sey in casual, conversational Turkish. All three particles have multiple functions, which are described by reference to occurrences in utterances within three different domains of conversation. While utterance initial occurrences of yani are mainly connective and continuative...
Frequency and length effects of words on fixation durations in turkish sentence reading
Eren, Emine; Acartürk, Cengiz; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2014)
This thesis mainly examined the effect of frequency and length features of the words on eye movement parameters in reading Turkish sentences. In order to examine these word features, target words were categorized into three; uninflected words, words with short inflectional suffix, -lEr; and words with long inflectional suffixes, -lErdEkilerden. Whether frequency and length of the uninflected stems of the target words affect the fixation durations in reading across (inflectional) suffixation condition was ex...

Canlar, Simay; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2019)
In this thesis, Samkhyakarika, which is one of the most important texts of the Indian Philosophy, is analyzed.

Firstly, the main lines of the philosophical-spiritual tradition of Ancient Greek and Roma are shared with the findings and analysis of Hadot. Hadot thinks that Ancient Greek philosophy provides a way of life to the person. ...
