This study presents two different software programs to be used in Turkish visual word recognition studies: KelimetriK and Wuggy with a Turkish plug-in extension. KelimetriK is a query-based software program developed as part of this thesis. KelimetriK provides word and bi-gram/tri-gram frequencies, orthographic neighborhood (ON), orthographic relatedness (transposed letter similarity and subset/superset similarity) and OLD20 (orthographic Levensthein Distance 20) scores. Wuggy is a pseudoword (i.e. wordlike non-words) generator that is adaptable to multiple languages (Keuleers, & Brstbaert, 2010). The pseudowords are generated from one or more user defined reference words by considering the sub-syllabic elements' bi-gram frequencies (the onset-nucleus-coda pattern). Developing a Turkish plug-in for the Wuggy software was also part of this thesis. KelimetriK and the Turkish plug-in for Wuggy were used on a lexical decision visual word recognition study. The aim of the study was to investigate the specific influence of word-frequency, ON, OLD20 and imageability on response time and accuracy scores. It was hypothesized that all the tested linguistic variables will influence the Turkish visual word recognition data.

A note on the contact between Kurmanji Kurdish and Turkish at lexical and morphological level
Çabuk Ballı, Sakine (SAGE Publications, 2019-08-01)
Turkish-Kurdish social setting where the Turkish and Kurdish languages are in contact for a long time induces borrowing and change at different levels.This study explores the contact between Kurmanji Kurdish and Turkish that take place at both morphological and lexical level. The data consist of three hours of recordings of family talks on the phone. Corpus analysis of data obtained from audio and video recordings of a family talk on the phone was done. Preliminary findings revealed that verbs are borrowed ...
A Turkish Database For Psycholonguistic Studies
Acar, Elif Ahşen; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Kurfalı, Murathan; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem (2016-11-01)
This study primarily aims to build a Turkish psycholinguistic database including three variables: word frequency, age of acquisition (AoA), and imageability, where AoA and imageability information are limited to nouns. We used a corpus-based approach to obtain information about the AoA variable. We built two corpora: a child literature corpus (CLC) including 535 books written for 3-12 years old children, and a corpus of transcribed children’s speech (CSC) at ages 1;4-4;8. A comparison between the word frequ...
The Corpus of Turkish Youth Language (COTY): The compilation and interactional dynamics of a spoken corpus
Efeoğlu Özcan, Esranur; Işık Güler, Hale; English Language Teaching (2022-9-2)
This study examines the previously unattained research area of contemporary spoken Turkish used in dyadic and multi-party interaction among young speakers of Turkish. For this purpose, a specialized corpus called the Corpus of Turkish Youth Language (CoTY) was compiled as a source of data and as a tool of analysis. Designed to offer a maximally representative sample of Turkish youth talk, the CoTY contains naturally occurring and spontaneous interactional data among young people between the ages of 14-18 fr...
The Effective English Language Teacher from the Perspectives of Turkish Preparatory School Students
Arikan, Arda; Taşer, Duygu; Sarac-Suzer, H. Sezgi (2008-10-01)
In this study, Turkish EFL students' conceptualization of an effective English language teacher is studied. A survey formerly developed by Yu-Hsin (1999) was adapted and administered to 100 foreign language learners studying at two state universities' English language preparatory schools. Also, participants' written responses were collected to understand the qualities attributed to the effective teacher. Results show that an effective teacher is a friendly, young, enthusiastic, creative, and humorous person...
