Compiling the first spoken corpus for Turkish youth talk
This paper addresses issues related to the design and compilation of the first spoken corpus of youth talk in an under-represented language in corpus linguistics, Turkish. Designed to offer a maximally representative sample of Turkish youth talk, the Corpus of Turkish Youth Language (CoTY) is a 168,748-token specialised corpus within the single register of informal, naturally occurring and spontaneous interaction exclusively among friends. The sp…

Translanguaging dynamics in the digital landscape
Based on a new Turkish social media influencer corpus consisting of 30 YouTube vlogs, this study explores young adults’ translanguaging practices, prevalent linguistic events, and spatial repertoires in communication. The analysis focuses on vlogs, where linguistic resources become available in relation to the activities, audience, and organization of places or objects and young adults’ translanguaging practices and their situated functions. The …
Rap Devil versus Rap God
Using a line-by-line analysis of the key conversational instances identified in an asynchronous rap battle between Eminem (in Killshot ) and Machine Gun Kelly (in Rap Devil ), this study investigates diss tracks as manifestations of impoliteness. As a framework for our analysis, we adopt an overlay of Spencer-Oatey’s rapport management model/principles and Culpeper’s framework of impoliteness strategies/formulae. The results show that both rapper…
‘Tiny but Mighty’ Conversational Elements
This paper analyzes the functions of non-lexical backchannels in the Spoken Turkish Corpus and the differences in their use in naturally formed combinatory groups of gender and age (young-middle aged-elderly). Adopting a cyclic approach in the analysis of the 2231 non-lexical backchannels from the study corpus, two main and 16 sub-functions, eight of which are unique to this study and exhibit original dimensions have been identified. Results reve…

Discourses of exclusion on Twitter in the Turkish Context
Siyasal Bir Varlık Olarak Türkiye
This study investigates the body politic conceptualization of Turkey in political discourse. A corpus-driven Critical Metaphor Analysis is carried out on the corpus of Political Discourse (POLDIS) which consists of political news articles from Turkish, British and American newspapers. The source domains of "BODY", "LIFE", and "HEALTH" are mapped into the target domain: "TURKEY". The manifested general metaphor "A COUNTRY IS AN ANIMATE BEING" and …
Intercultural communication
The term ‘intercultural’ literally means ‘between cultures’, and so, at one level, ‘intercultural communication’ could refer to all communication between members of two (or more) different social/cultural groups. This, in fact, is how the term has traditionally been used. Difference in nationality or mother tongue has typically been taken as the criterion for membership of different social/cultural groups, and communication between people of diff…
Face and impoliteness at the intersection with emotions
This paper employs a corpus-based approach to examine the bases of impoliteness via the nature of emotions involved in offending event(s), with a view of teasing apart face concerns from other factors in the management of relations. Drawing from (social) psychology, we consider how emotions can open a window on discerning what type of impolite acts they appear as responses to and what impolite acts they motivate. The occurrence of 20 emotion word…
