The growing interdisciplinary research field of psycholinguistics is in constant need of new and up-to-date tools which will allow researchers to answer complex questions, but also expand on languages other than English, which dominates the field. One type of such tools are picture datasets which provide naming norms for everyday objects. However, existing databases tend to be small in terms of the number of items they include, and have also been normed in a limited number of languages, despite the recent boom in multilingualism research. In this paper we present the Multilingual Picture (Multipic) database, containing naming norms and familiarity scores for 500 coloured pictures, in thirty-two languages or language varieties from around the world. The data was validated with standard methods that have been used for existing picture datasets. This is the first dataset to provide naming norms, and translation equivalents, for such a variety of languages; as such, it will be of particular value to psycholinguists and other interested researchers. The dataset has been made freely available.

The Dynamic nature of positional identites in an EFL classroom a conversation analysis-led case study Özbakış, Özlem; Işık Güler, Hale; Department of English Language Teaching (2015) Throughout the past decades, socially-oriented studies have become the leading topics in the fields of SLA and Applied Linguistics. Within this framework, in particular, identity has attracted its deserved attention following Norton’s work (1995, 2000, 2013) as Block (2007) puts forward. In line with this case, an extensive body of research has provided significant insights into the links between identity and language learning. However, analyzing classroom interactions in an EFL context has been the core su...
The use of verbal morphology in Turkish as a third language: The case of Russian-English-Turkish trilinguals Antonova-Unlu, Elena; Sağın Şimşek, Sultan Çiğdem (SAGE Publications, 2015-06-01) Aims and Objectives: Several studies suggest that third language acquisition (TLA) is marked with complex patterns of language interaction. However, it is not clear yet to what extent multilinguals activate each of their background languages in TLA, as various factors may trigger the activation of one of the previously learnt languages. This study aims to contribute to the discussion by examining the use of verbal morphology in third language (L3) Turkish of Russian-English-Turkish trilinguals. We investiga...
A Dependency grammar based semantics for copular comparatives Köksal, Asiye Tuba; Özge, Umut; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2019) Comparative constructions are rich in semantic content, which makes them important for natural language understanding research and technology. A widely used grammar formalism and parser is The Stanford Dependency scheme which aims to provide a simple and strightforward description of grammatical relations. The Universal Dependecies project extends this aim to reach cross-linguistically consistent annotations for many languages. For some complicated constructions like comparatives,a more syntactically motiva...
A Framework for qualitative assessment of domain specific languages Kahraman, Gökhan; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) have been proposed in the literature with the aim of providing a wide range of advantages such as better productivity and quality for stakeholders involved with many aspects of software development. The objective of this study consists of supporting the improvement of DSL maturity by providing an A Framework for Qualitative Assessment of DSLs(FQAD). A formal approach is proposed for the assessment of DSLs. Metrics for DSL success measurement and the parameters that affect th...
Visualizing transition diagrams of action language programs Koc, O; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Cicekli, NK (2002-10-30) The subject of action languages is one of the prominent research topics in current Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. One of the problems in teaching and learning action languages as well as writing causal theory expressions is the difficulty of visualizing transition diagrams in mind. A tool, called TDV, which extends CCALC [GL98b] and uses GraphViz[KN91] software, is developed to visualize transition diagrams of C programs.
