Strawson proposed in the early seventies an attractive three-fold distinction regarding how context bears on the meaning of ‘what is said’ when a sentence is uttered. The proposed scheme is somewhat crude and, being aware of this aspect, Strawson himself raised various points to make it more adequate. In this paper, we review the scheme of Strawson, note his concerns, and add some of our own. However, our main point is to defend the essence of Strawson’s approach and to recommend it as a starting point for research into intended meaning and context.

Gesturing literal and metaphorical motion events in children and adults
Hülagü, Ayşenur; Özge, Duygu (null; 2017-07-17)
The question as to how metaphors arise in thought and how they are interpreted in communication is a long-standing question from Aristotle to contemporary psycholinguists. For some, metaphors should be analyzed as analogies in order to receive meaning; that is, literal meaning is initially imposed (decomposition), and the choice of the metaphor is triggered only when the literal analysis fails (Searle, 1979; Gentner & Bowdle, 2008). For others, metaphors are stored as separate lexical items and interpreted ...
On the Beautiful as the Symbol of the Morally Good in Kant's Aesthetics
Tanık, Duygu; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2022-9-2)
This study analyzes the meaning and role of the analogy between beauty and the morally good introduced in Kant’s Critique of Judgment by his famous statement: “beautiful is the symbol of the morally good.” By examining this analogy, this thesis investigates the possible relations between aesthetics and morality with regard to Kant’s aesthetics, it argues that aesthetic experience is a source of motivation for the continuity of our moral acts. By claiming that natural beauty has superiority in providing mora...

Bilgen, Funda; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Language Education (2008)

It aims to make an ecofeminist analysis of three novels: Surfacing by Margaret Atwood, The Cleft by Doris Lessing and The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson. First, this thesis introduces the history and main principles of ecofeminist theory. These novels by different women writers investigate the embodiment of these main principles in three novels de...
Investigating the Neural Models for Irony Detection on Turkish Informal Texts
Cemek, Yesim; Cidecio, Cenk; Ozturk, Asli Umay; Cekinel, Recep Firat; Karagöz, Pınar (2020-01-01)
Irony is defined as the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect. In the textual context, it can be considered as a specific type of opinion mining problem. However, due to the nature of the problem, it is generally more challenging to detect. Irony detection is useful to understand the semantics of a text. It also helps improving the accuracy of many other text mining tasks. In this paper, we study the irony detection prob...
Lacanian Implications of Departures in Zemeckis's Beowulf from Beowulf, the Old English Epic
Birlik, Nurten (2021-11-01)
Although Robert Zemeckis's film Beowulf (2007) is a re-writing of the Old English epic Beowulf with a shifting of perspective, certain details in the film can only be understood by referring to the poem. That is, a better understanding of the film is tied closely to an awareness of certain narrative elements in the epic. The emphasis on Beowulf in the poem shifts to the Mother in the film. This shift obviously leads to a recontextualization of the narrative elements of the former text. In the epic, Grendel ...
