2025 Action bias in describing object locations by signing children Sign Language & Linguistics: Online-First Articles | Article
This study investigates the role of action bias in the acquisition of classifier constructions by deaf children acquiring Turkish Sign Language (TİD). While classifier handshapes are morphologically complex and iconic, deaf children (aged 7–9) were found to prefer handling classifiers… read more
2018 Chapter 6. Cross-linguistic variation in children’s multimodal utterances Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 123–138 | Chapter
Our ability to use language is multimodal and requires tight coordination between what is expressed in speech and in gesture, such as pointing or iconic gestures that convey semantic, syntactic and pragmatic information related to speakers’ messages. Interestingly, what is expressed in gesture and… read more
2017 Introduction 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. vii–xii | Miscellaneous
2017 Chapter 14. A first study on the development of spatial viewpoint in sign language acquisition: The case of Turkish Sign Language 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. 223–240 | Chapter

We elicited spatial descriptions from deaf children (4–9 years of age) acquiring Turkish Sign Language (TİD)… read more
2017 Chapter 3. Function and processing of gesture in the context of language Why Gesture?: How the hands function in speaking, thinking and communicating, Church, Ruth Breckinridge, Martha W. Alibali and Spencer D. Kelly (eds.), pp. 39–58 | Chapter
Abstract
Most research focuses function of gesture independent of its link to the speech it accompanies and the coexpressive functions it has together with speech. This chapter instead approaches gesture in relation to its communicative function in relation to speech, and… read more
2015 Discourse management: Reference tracking in speech and gesture in Turkish narratives Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics 4:2, pp. 222–240 | Article
Speakers achieve coherence in discourse by alternating between differential lexical forms e.g. noun phrase, pronoun, and null form in accordance with the accessibility of the entities they refer to, i.e. whether they introduce an entity into discourse for the first time or continue referring to an… read more

2007 How does linguistic framing of events influence co-speech gestures? Insights from crosslinguistic variations and similarities Gestural Communication in Nonhuman and Human Primates, Liebal, Katja, Cornelia Müller and Simone Pika (eds.), pp. 199–218 | Article
What are the relations between linguistic encoding and gestural representations of events during online speaking? The few studies that have been conducted on this topic have yielded somewhat incompatible results with regard to whether and how gestural representations of events change with… read more
