''Compliments and Compliment Responses: Grammatical Structure and Sequential Organization'' lives up to its name and provides a well- organised, detailed and comprehensive analysis of compliments and compliment responses in German. This book is not only an excellent example of research on talk-in-interaction but also a work that sets an agenda for future developments in the field. One of the main contributions of this conversational analytic work is that it raises the standards of research in this area and introduces readers to innovative scientific reasoning. The book consists of seven well-written, interesting and stimulating chapters and each one of them deals with compliments and/or compliment responses from a different perspective: Chapter 1: Preliminaries (pp. 1-9), Chapter 2: Methodology (pp. 11-25), Chapter 3: Giving Compliments: The Design of First Compliment Turns (pp. 27- 84), Chapter 4: Giving Compliments: Sequential Embedding and Function of First Compliment Turns (pp. 85-132), Chapter 5: Compliments in Multi-party Interactions: Third Parties Providing Second Compliments (pp. 133-166), Chapter 6: Compliment Responses (pp. 167-199), Chapter 7: Concluding Discussions (pp. 201-212). Notes, references, name and subject indices are given at the end of the book. This review will first, present a concise description of the content of each of the chapters and will then offer critical assessment of the book as a whole.

Connective position, argument order and ınformation structure of discourse connectives in written turkish texts Demirşahin, Işın; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2008) A text is a linguistic structure that is more than a random collection of sentences. A text is cohesive (Halliday & Hasan, 1976) and coherent (Mann & Thompson, 1987, 1988). Mainly ignored in the field of linguistics until recently, the text and the discourse structure have been inquired from various points of view (Asher, 1993; Asher & Lascarides, 1998; Grosz & Sidner, 1986; Mann & Thompson, 1987, 1988; Webber, 2004). D-LTAG is a discourse grammar work that extends a lexicalized sentence level grammar LTAG ...

Clustering based personality prediction on Turkish Tweets Tutaysalgır, Esen; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) In this thesis, we present a framework for predicting the personality traits of users using their tweets written in Turkish. The prediction model is constructed with a clustering based approach. We show how to extract linguistic features from tweet data and to adapt TF-IDF weighting and word embeddings to the Turkish tweets. Since the model is based on linguistic features, it is language specific. The prediction model uses features applicable to Turkish language and related to writing style of Turkish Twitt...
Comparison of Semantic Intent and Realization in Product Design: A Study on High-End Furniture Impressions Khalaj, Javad; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs (2014-12-01) This paper presents a comparative analysis of designers' intended impressions and users' realized impressions of products, within the context of design communication. Its originality comes from the empirical approach taken, which examines the extent of users' shared impressions from products and their closeness to originating designers' intentions. Visual stimuli and semantic differential evaluations involving high-end furniture (n = 8) and representative target users (n = 80) were used. Data analysis was c...
Referential form, word order and emotional valence in Turkish pronoun resolution in physical contact events Özge, Duygu (De Gruyter Mouton, 2020-01-01) This study investigates the effect of information structure (revealed in SOV versus OSV orders), the type of anaphoric expression (zero versus overt pro-nouns), and the verb valence (positive valence versus negative valence) on the interpretation of ambiguous pronouns in Turkish physical contact action verbs. Turkish speaking adult participants were asked to determine the reference for a nonsense adjectival predicate in an utterance with an action verb and two clauses connect...
