In this work intra-sentential resolution of Turkish dropped pronouns in a phrase structure grammar is studied. Turkish is a pro-drop and free constituent order language. The resolution scheme for dropped pronouns depends on the constituent order. We introduce resolution rules for different surface orders and propose an implementation for an HPSG based parser. Implementation is based on incremental processing of non-local referential index sets during parsing.

Connectivity in Turkish Sluicing-like Constructions Kiper, Sebahat Yağmur (2021-08-11) In this study, I explore sluicing-like constructions (SLCs) in Turkish from the perspective of case connectivity between the wh-phrase in the ellipsis site (wh-remnant) and the indefinite pronoun in the antecedent clause (indefinite correlate). Case connectivity refers to the wh-remnant sharing the morphological case of its correlate, while anti-connectivity refers to the wh-remnant surfacing bare, regardless of the form of the correlate, both of which are observed in Turkish. The wh-remnant can also carry ...
Syntax/semantics/pragmatics of yes/no questions in second language Turkish Gracanın Yüksek, Martına; Kırkıcı, Bilal (John Benjamins, 2016-01-01) This paper examines the second language (L2) acquisition of the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of Turkish yes/no (yn) questions across learners of different proficiency. Employing three tasks, we tested the participants’ knowledge of the syntax of yn questions, the semantic interpretations they assign to the construction, and their mastery of the pragmatic constraints that govern the use of various points of yn questions. Although the results show that the participants’ performance in all three areas we ...
A knowledge-poor pronoun resolution system for Turkish Küçük, Dilek; Turhan Yöndem, Meltem; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) This thesis presents a knowledge-poor pronoun resolution system for Turkish which resolves third person personal pronouns and possessive pronouns. The system is knowledge-poor in the sense that it makes use of limited linguistic and semantic knowledge to resolve the pronouns. As pronoun resolution proposals for languages like English, French and Spanish, the core of the system is the constraints and preferences which are determined empirically. The system has four modules: sentence splitting, pronoun extrac...
Usage disambiguation of Turkish discourse connectives Başıbüyük, Kezban; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (2023-01-01) This paper describes a rule-based approach and a machine learning approach to disambiguate the discourse usage of Turkish connectives, which not only has single and phrasal connectives as most languages do, but also suffixal connectives that largely correspond to subordinating conjunctions in English. Since these connectives have different linguistic characteristics, two sets of linguistic rules are devised to disambiguate their discourse usage. The linguistic rules are used in the rule-based approach and e...
DISTRIBUTIONAL INVESTIGATION OF SOME FREQUENT TURKISH DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES FOR EXPLORING THEIR SEMANTICS Özdemir, Gizem Nur; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Bioinformatics (2021-7-14) In agglutinating languages such as Turkish, the process of derivation is mostly performed by adding suffixes at the end of words. Most of the derivational suffixes carry a distinctive semantic content and representing them has an important role in computational tasks, such as question answering. In this thesis, we aim to explore the structure of some frequent Turkish derivational suffixes in distributional vector space by clustering word embedding vectors of them and analyzing their underlying semantic prop...
