Ankara papers in Turkish and Turkic linguistics

Meer over het boek

This volume compiles a diverse range of research papers covering phonetics, phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics, language acquisition, discourse analysis, pragmatics, language contact studies, receptive multilingualism, and sociolinguistics. Featuring 58 articles specifically written for this collection, it provides an informative overview of contemporary topics in the field. All contributions have undergone double blind peer review, ensuring the volume reflects the current state of Turkish and Turkic linguistics, though it does not aim to serve as an encyclopedia. The articles are organized into seven categories: Phonetics & Phonology, Syntax & Morphology, First and Second Language Acquisition, Discourse, Semantics & Pragmatics, Language Contact & Sociolinguistics, and Prospective in Turkic Languages. The collection presents a variety of theoretical perspectives as well as empirical research findings based on both small and large corpora, including production data from L1/L2 language learners and acoustic speech analysis. The authors, hailing from various Turkish, European, American, and Japanese universities, contribute to a geographically diverse analysis. This compilation is expected to generate interest in the explored topics and inspire new research avenues in the future.
