In this paper we explain how we annotated subordinators in the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB), an effort that started in 2007 and is still continuing. We introduce the project and describe some of the issues that were important in annotating three subordinators, namely kars¸ın, ragmen ˘ and halde, all of which encode the coherence relation Contrast-Concession. We also describe the annotation tool.

The annotation scheme of the Turkish Discourse Bank and an evaluation of inconsistent annotations
Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Sevdik- Çallı , Ayışığı; Ögel- Balaban, Hale; Yalçınkaya, İhsan; Turan, Ümit Deniz (2010-7-15-16)
In this paper, we report on the annotation procedures we developed for annotating the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB), an effort that extends the Penn Discourse Tree Bank (PDTB) annotation style by using it for annotating Turkish discourse. After a brief introduction to the TDB, we describe the annotation cycle and the annotation scheme we developed, defining which parts of the scheme are an extension of the PDTB and which parts are different. We provide inter-coder reliability calculations on the first and se...
TDB 1.1: Extensions on Turkish Discourse Bank
Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (2017-4-3)
In this paper we present the recent developments on Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB). We first summarize the resource and present an evaluation. Then, we describe TDB 1.1, i.e. enrichments on 10% of the corpus (namely, added senses for explicit discourse connectives and new annotations for implicit relations, entity relations and alternative lexicalizations). We explain the method of annotation and evaulate the data.
Assessment of the Turkish discourse bank and a cascaded model to automatically identify discursive phrasal expressions in Turkish
Sevdik Çallı, Ayışığı Başak; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015)
This thesis presents a methodology for an overall assessment of the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB), a linguistic resource where discourse relations overtly expressed by discourse connectives have been identified and annotated with the two arguments they relate. We provide a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the TDB in order to establish the reliability of this discourse resource for Turkish and suggest that our methodology can be utilized for reliability evaluations of other annotated corpora. Our qu...
An Assessment of Explicit Inter- and Intra-sentential Discourse Connectives in Turkish Discourse Bank
Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (null; 2018-05-07)
The paper offers a quantitative and qualitative analysis of explicit inter- and intra-sentential discourse connectives in Turkish Discourse Bank, or TDB version 1.1, a multi-genre resource of written Turkish manually annotated at the discourse level following the goals and principles of Penn Discourse TreeBank. TDB 1.1 is a 40K-word corpus involving all major discourse relation types (explicit discourse relations at intra- and inter-sentential positions, implicit discourse relations, alternative lexicalizat...
Precarity: more than a challenge of social security or cynicism of EU's concept of economic freedom
Herrmann, Peter; Kalaycıoğlu, Hediye Sibel (Europaischer Hoch Schul Verlag GmbH and Co.KG, 2011-01-01)
The present book gathers edited contributions from a conference which had been held end of 2010 in Ankara, Turkey. This event brought together scientists and trade unionists from several EU- and non EU-countries, exploring one of the major, though frequently underestimated challenges of societal integrity. This continuing debate of the experts of the European S.U.P.I.-Network focussed in particular on the more fundamental issues of precarity. As much as precarity is a matter of socio-individual concern, hav...
