Title
Studies in Turkish Linguistics
Edited by Dan I. Slobin and Karl Zimmer
Turkish is a member of the Turkic family of languages, which extends over a vast area in southern and eastern Siberia and adjacent portions of Iran, Afganistan, and China. Turkic, in turn, belongs to the Altaic family of languages. This book deals with the morphological and syntactic, semantic and… read more[Typological Studies in Language, 8] 1986. vi, 300 pp.
2026 Chapter 1. The wealth of the stimulus Usage-based Perspectives on Language and Language Acquisition: In honour of Heike Behrens, Madlener-Charpentier, Karin, Marjolijn H. Verspoor, Mirjam Weder and Annelies Häcki Buhofer (eds.), pp. 22–39 | Chapter
For well over a half-century, child language researchers have struggled with Chomsky’s characterization of “the poverty of the stimulus” — the assertion that the child does not receive enough linguistic data to arrive at knowledge of grammatical structure. Whatever one’s conception of linguistic… read more
2017 Afterword. Typologies and language use Motion and Space across Languages: Theory and applications, Ibarretxe-Antuñano, Iraide (ed.), pp. 419–446 | Chapter
The study of encoding of motion events is best approached as a search for potentially interacting factors, linguistic and non-linguistic. Every language presents a cluster of typological variables. In the domain of motion events, sets of variables co-occur in at least two major patterns (verb‑ and… read more
2017 Chapter 1. Social motivations for linguistic exploration: A diary study Social Environment and Cognition in Language Development: Studies in honor of Ayhan Aksu-Koç, Ketrez, F. Nihan, Aylin C. Küntay, Şeyda Özçalışkan and Aslı Özyürek (eds.), pp. 3–18 | Chapter
The language-learning child is challenged to determine why there are alternate ways of expressing content, performing speech acts, and directing attention to inner states. Acquisition of syntax is driven by social cognition and by attention to linguistic constructions. This chapter presents an… read more
2016 Thinking for speaking and the construction of evidentiality in language contact Exploring the Turkish Linguistic Landscape: Essays in honor of Eser Erguvanlı-Taylan, Güven, Mine, Didar Akar, Balkız Öztürk and Meltem Kelepir (eds.), pp. 105–120 | Article
Long-term habitual use of two languages can have consequences for mappings between form and content in one or the other of the languages. In processes of thinking for speaking, speakers attend to dimensions of experience that are available for morphosyntactic and lexical coding. In situations of… read more
2014 From speech with others to speech for self: A case study of “externalized drama” Language in Interaction: Studies in honor of Eve V. Clark, Arnon, Inbal, Marisa Casillas, Chigusa Kurumada and Bruno Estigarribia (eds.), pp. 315–332 | Article
The chapter is a case study of a particular kind of speech-for-self produced by a preschool-aged girl, characterized as “externalized dramas.” Unlike most such records of vocalized thought, this speech is not involved with guiding ongoing behavior, but rather with acting out problems of… read more
2013 Typology and channel of communication: Where do signed languages fit in Language Typology and Historical Contingency: In honor of Johanna Nichols, Bickel, Balthasar, Lenore A. Grenoble, David A. Peterson and Alan Timberlake (eds.), pp. 47–68 | Article
Many sign languages have been described linguistically; however, such descriptions draw on grammatical traditions developed for the surrounding spoken languages. Although these languages are spoken all over the world, they all happen to be dependent marking, in terms of the typology developed by… read more
