My boyfriend is 21 and is an extrovert. He speaks very confidently yet sometimes he has issues with communicating with others (keeping conversation). He explains it as if he has a lump in his throat or as if he’s holding his breath. although he may want to engage and continue conversation with someone, he finds it hard to keep it up, almost as if he is blocking himself. He isn’t nervous or anxious, it’s almost like he doesn’t know what to say next. And he also believes that, although he has a lo

Existing research on the impact of sojourns abroad on identity and on the relation between study abroad, identity, and language learning shows a variety of, sometimes contradictory, results. While some scholars doubt that study abroad is a long and destabilizing enough type of mobility having a direct impact on the identities of the participants (e.g. Block, 2014), others claim that study abroad can trigger an ‘alteration’ or modification of the self, due to the need to live in a foreign languag

This dissertation revisits the question of the syntactic and semantic status of pronouns, incorporating new syntactic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic data to support an analysis of n-to-D head movement in the nominal domain. The support for pronouns originating in n comes from predicative pronouns, including pronominal relative clauses (1) and depronominalizations (2). (1) he who is without sin (2) That person is a she. I compare predicative pronouns with variable grammatical restric

Measuring the semantic similarity and relatedness of words is important for many natural language processing tasks. Although distributional semantic models designed for this task have many different parameters, such as vector similarity measures, weighting schemes and dimensionality reduction techniques, there is no truly comprehensive study simultaneously evaluating these parameters while also analysing the differences in the findings for multiple languages. We would like to address this g

With the fast pace of globalization and the rise of encounters in digital spaces, CALL scholars have become increasingly interested in how digital tools mediate intercultural encounters. However, despite their evident success in connecting students from around the world, current online intercultural exchanges continue to present problems such a promotion of positive experiences over deep intercultural learning and lack of real-life value (O’ Dowd, 2018). In addition, digitally-mediated intercult

We are two language and literature enthusiasts based in Ankara aiming to employ corpus methods in our research. We have recently published a paper in the Journal of English for Academic Purposes (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1475158519300402) where we investigated the use of self-mention markers in the doctoral dissertations of literature in the UK and Turkey.
