A coherentist approach to the justification of scientific theories
Kamözüt, Mehmet Cem; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2008)
Philosophers of science have long realized that it is not possible to decide which scientific theory is true just by relying on their empirical adequacy. That theories should possess other virtues in order to be accepted by the scientific community is well understood. Nevertheless, empirical adequacy remained as having a privileged value among these virtues. In this thesis I argue that scientific theories are accepted or rejected on the bases of an evaluation of their degree of coherence. In such a coherent...
A Rhetorical Narratological Approach to the Treatment of Crime and Criminals in Great Expectations
NAZLİ, ELZEM; Öztabak Avcı, Elif (2018-06-01)
This paper aims to present a rhetorical narratological analysis of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations (1861) with a specific focus on the issue of crime and the figure of the criminal. There are many studies pointing out that the novel provides the reader with an anatomy of crime and the criminal; yet, its differing treatment of the criminal characters and its possible effects over the reader have not received much narratological attention. Although Magwitch, Compeyson, and Molly can all be equally consid...
A minimalistic approach to Russian-English-Turkish multilingualism
Özağaç, Oya; König, Kurt Wolf; Say, Bilge; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2002)
The empirical question which is the focus of present research is: How may the lexicons from different languages interact in the course of one syntactical derivation, resulting in code switching phenomena? We develop the following hypothesis concerning code switching: The units of intrasentential code switching are either heads or functional maximal projections. To get support for this hypothesis, intrasentential code switching instances from Russian-English-Turkish and Dutch- Turkish spoken data are analyze...
A semperian approach to artificial light as a building material
Kocaoğlu, Nihan; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2011)
The aim of this study is to understand the purpose, employment and place of specific materials in general, and “light” in particular, in architectural production. This thesis is a critical reconsideration of light as a building material, encompassing all the metaphorical connotations that the term suggests: light versus heavy; “art form” versus “core form”; “figuration” versus “tectonic”; ornamentation versus construction; craft production versus structural logic and abstraction versus materiality. All thes...
A grounded theory of school as a social system in an atypical context
Zeybekoğlu Çalışkan, Zuhal; Kondakçı, Yaşar; Şimşek, Hasan; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
This is a grounded theory study of school as a social system in an atypical context. It was the aim of this study to develope context-specific theoretical propositions to understand how a school as a social system looks like in an atypical context, which is characterized by ethnic group, migrated groups of low socio-economic status and low-level education. A public school that shows these characteristics was chosen for the study. The school is mostly populated by students coming from Roman community and mig...
