This study elaborates on the materiality of prayer beads and their recent electronic versions – called tespih and zikirmatik in Turkish. Through an ethnography of worshipping practices and prayer rituals that focus on counting prayers with these tools, it elaborates on the orchestration and appropriation of a repertoire of products for the accomplishment of practices in general. It details the ways in which objects are foreseen, adapted, and modified by subjects to conduct their prayer practices deservedly. The study also shows that objects enable religious practice to diffuse into other everyday life practices. In this way, on the one hand prayer practices and mundane everyday practices get entangled and are reproduced, on the other hand, this contributes to a more fulfilled sense of worship.

The practice of counting prayers: use of tespih and zikirmatik in everyday life in Turkey

For this purpose, a framework based on material culture and practice theory is employed to understand how Islam informs and guides the organization and the conduct of daily life around the pervasive prayer practices, the ways objects are used for these purposes and how practices and products co-evolve by influencing each ot...

It also aims to investigate differences in the use of backchannels in naturally formed groups in the data. In order to achieve these aims, Spoken Turkish Corpus was used as the data source and EXMaRALDA tools were used to annotate functions of the backchannels. A sub-corpus was formed consisting of 61 conversations from three main settings:conversat...

The ethnographic data, which have been collected through eighty-seven funeral ceremony that I attended in these two mosques, shows that there are repetitive patterns among funeral ceremonies performed in the same mosque. When we compare the ceremonial patterns in Hacıbayram Mosque and Kocatepe Mosque, it is obser...
An analysis of turkish sign language (tid) phonology and morphology
Kubuş, Okan; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2008)
This thesis examines the phonology and morphology of Turkish Sign Language (TİD). TİD, being considered a full-fledged language, has a rich phonological and morphological system, as other sign and spoken languages do. For the purpose of this thesis; empirical data have been collected by means of a corpus study and various data elicitation tasks. As a main result of my study of TİD phonology, I propose a complete inventory of handshapes as well as a set of unmarked handshapes which are unique to TİD. I discu...
İşlevsel edimbilim yöntemiyle metin içinde gösterme alanının incelenmesi
Sağın Şimşek, Sultan Çiğdem; Babur, Ezel (2009-01-01)
This study will analyze the complex role of deictic expressions bu, şu, o in Turkish texts within the framework of Functional Pragmatics developed by Echlich and Rehbein since 1970s. In Sağın-Şimşek, Babur & Rehbein (2008) the deictic field was illustrated by means of bu, şu and o in discourse and it has been shown that the deictic field of Turkish is triplified into the classes of o[x]-occurrences which are mainly anadeictic, ş[x]- occurrences are mainly catadeictic, while b[x]- occurrences mainly focus he...
