Inferable and Partitive Indefinites in Topic Position
Von Heusinger, Klaus; Özge, Umut (Brill, 2021-01-01)
The topic position in a sentence is reserved for familiar and/or referential arguments (Kuno, 1972; Reinhart, 1981; Portner & Yabushita, 2001). Thus, the typical topic is a definite expression such as a pronoun, a proper name or a definite noun phrase. However, indefinites can appear in topic position if they are referential, i.e. specific or generic.

Inflection and derivation in native and non-native language processing: Masked priming experiments on Turkish

Much previous experimental research on morphological processing has focused on surface and meaning-level properties of morphologically complex words, without paying much attention to the morphological differences between inflectional and derivational processes. Realization-based theories of morphology, for example, assume specific morpholexical representations for derived words that distinguish them from the products of inflectional or paradigmatic processes. The present study reports results from a series ...

Semantic/pragmatic processing in turkish propositionalattitude verbs: the case of "zannet"
Albayrak, Samet; Özge, Umut; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2019)
This thesis investigated the Theory of Mind (ability to infer mental states) in a verbal medium. In addition to that, some propositional attitude verbs that are used for providing such a medium are investigated semantically and pragmatically. Evaluated verbs were bil (know), düşün (think), and zannet (~falsely-believe). These verbs are used for creating a paradigm where speaker's beliefs are encoded in the utterance, and participants were expected to predict emotional responses to given situations using the...
