The documentation of endangered languages
This paper examines the methods and techniques used in fieldwork for documenting endangered languages in Anatolia, taking the Çankırı variety of the Posha language as a case in point. The data for the study were collected from Çankırı Poshas between 2010 and 2015. As pointed out in previous studies, the Posha language, including its regional variants, is endangered. However, documenting a minority language poses difficulties depending on the func…

The Evolution and Functions of Evidentials in dialects of Turkish
This paper explores evidentials in various dialects of Turkish spoken across Anatolia, scrutinizing their semantic domains, diversity, and evolution paths. The data for analysis consists of fieldwork transcriptions, literary sources, and naturalistic recordings of everyday language. Adopting the definition of evidentiality as the coding of information sources on the proposition, we identified the items as denoting inference and hearsay under indi…
Epistemic modality and evidentiality in virtual intercultural exchanges between Turkish and Texan users of English
This study reports on data from two 6‐week virtual intercultural exchanges (VIEs) between teachers of multilingual learners in K‐12 schools in Türkiye and the United States. Using the data from these asynchronous VIEs, we focus on Turkish world Englishes speakers’ use of epistemic markers and evidentials. We examine how participants from Türkiye use markers of epistemic modality and evidentiality in intercultural encounters and how that use influ…
Dilbilgisel Kanıtsallık İşaretleyicilerinin Sözlükselleşmesi
Türk lehçeleri, önermeye temel oluşturan bilginin kaynağını dilbilgisel olarak işaretleyen dillerden biri olması nedeniyle kanıtsallık incelemelerinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çerçevede Eski Türkçeden itibaren görülen -mIş görünüş-zaman ve kanıtsallık, er-miş ise kanıtsallık işaretleyicisi olarak ele alınır. Çoğu lehçede dilbilgiselleşen e(r)mish, Özbek Türkçesinde aktarımsallık için kullanılmakla birlikte kanıtsallığın aktarımsallık ulamının…
The Distinction Between Synchronous and Retrospective Inferences in Uzbek
This paper investigates the inferentials shekilli and -(i)bdi in a written corpus of modern Uzbek with consideration of native speakers’ opinions on the interpretation of specific uses of these items. As a result of the analysis, these inferentials are used to distinguish synchronic or a priori evidence and a posteriori evidence respectively in the Uzbek evidential system. Although both inferentials have developed from markers encodingobservable …
Türkçe Dil Bilgisel Kanıtsalların Kurgusal Anlatıda Kullanımı ve İngilizceye Çev
This paper was presented in 1973 at Turkey’s first International Folklore Seminar held by the Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Culture’s Folklore Department at the Turkish Historical Society and was published in 1974. In the endnote of the article, I explained why I felt the need to republish this statement after 50 years. The results I obtained in my doctoral thesis titled “Elazığ Tales and Propp Method” were limited to the fairy tales compiled f…
Recycling a Mixed Language
We provide a sketch grammar of a new bilingual mixed language based on data gathered through interaction with its last native speakers. The language, which we call Posha of Çankırı, is spoken in central Turkey. The source languages are Turkish and Lomavren, another bilingual mixed language for which the source languages are Armenian and some Central Indo-Aryan varieties. In Posha of Çankırı, the mixing happens in the nominal morphology and in the…
Ottoman Turkish in the high school curriculum
This paper explores the recent policy decision about the teaching of Ottoman Turkish at high schools in Turkey and unpacks its historical, political, and social undercurrents. It theoretically rests upon Spolsky's [2004. Language policy. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009. Language management. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press] and Shohamy’s (2006. Language policy: Hidden agendas and new approaches. London: Routledge] work on languag…
