A note on -mAdAn (önce)

2015-06-01
The paper discusses the morphological make-up of the converbial ending –mAdAn in adverbial clauses denoting temporal antecedence (before-clauses) and negative manner (without-clauses). In clauses denoting temporal antecedence, the converbial ending is optionally followed by the postposition önce ‘before’. The argument presented in the paper is that the converbial ending –mAdAn contains a negative marker –mA only in clauses where it is not followed by önce, while when the postposition follows, it contains the homophonous nominalizing suffix instead. Evidence for the claim comes on the one hand, from the fact that –mAdAn önce clauses do not license negative polarity items (but –mAdAn clauses do), and on the other, from the fact that –mAdAn önce clauses allow an addition of a negation marker to the converb (but –mAdAn clauses do not). Keywords: –mAdAn (önce), temporal adverbial clauses, converb, negation, NPI’s

Syntheses of conjugated polymers and investigation the effect of gold nanoparticle - thiol interaction for organic solar cell application
Gülmez, Selin; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2022-8-31)
In this thesis, five benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole-based conjugated polymers were synthesized. Four of them were synthesized via Stille and Suzuki coupling reactions and the remaining one was synthesized by post-polymerization. The effect of functional groups of the tip of the alkyl chain was analyzed. Moreover, thiol group and gold nanoparticle interaction on the organic solar cell efficiency for P1-SH were investigated. Electronic and optical band gaps of polymers were found as 1.85/1.81, 1.95/1.85, 1.83/1....
Convergence of text and reader: a study of textual strategies and the formation of configurative meaning in selected works of fiction
Shadi, Mehran; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Literature (2018)
In this study, first, the foundational developments in the domains of linguistics, philosophy of language and literary theory that have led to a transformation of the concept of the reader are reviewed closely. Then, to understand the nature of literary responses, an Interactionalist Model of Readership (IMR) is proposed to explore the two sides of the reader-text interaction and the nature of the final product of the reading act. Using various examples, the interaction between the text and the reader is, t...
Assigning meaning to light verbs in Turkish Türkçede katkısız eylemlere anlam atanması
Özge, Duygu; ÜNAL, GÜLTEN; Bayırlı, İsa Kerem (2022-1-01)
İstanbul.Light verb constructions (e.g., give a kiss to somebody) syntactically reflect typical ditransitive structures (e.g., give a violin to somebody) yet it is not clear whether these two structures thematically similar as well. We tested Turkish-speaking adults on their construal of light verb constructions with respect to the number of thematic roles1 they perceive in the event structure in a rating study. The light verb give with a different noun phrase was used in all critical utterances (e.g., give...
Model theory of derivation spaces
Kasal, Özcan; Pierce, David; Department of Mathematics (2010)
In this thesis, the notion of the derivation spaces is introduced. In a suitable two-sorted language, the first order theory of these structures is studied. In particular, it is shown that the theory is not companionable. In the last section, the language is expanded by predicate symbols for a dependence relation. In this language it is shown that the extension of the corresponding theory has a model companion. It is shown that the model companion is a complete, unstable theory which does not eliminate quan...
Discovering the discourse role of converbs in Turkish discourse
Acar, Ahmet Faruk; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2014)
The subordinate verb forms that occur in non-finite adverbial clauses are called converbs (Göksel & Kerslake , 2005). In Turkish, converbs can be discourse connectives as well as acting as the complement of a factive verb or an adverbial. We morphologically analyzed 15 converbs in Turkish Discourse Bank to find out possible morpho-syntactic features in order to distinguish different roles of these converbs. The aim of the study is to find out all possible roles of the converbs and the source of ambiguities ...
