Bilingual language processing of evidentiality in a Turkish-English translation and judgment task
This study aimed to examine how two different factors, formal instruction in translation and location in an L2 country, affect the ways in which bilingual speakers process information when using multiple languages concurrently. The focus was on a linguistic property of evidentiality – the marking of the source of information about past events – as witnessed firsthand or obtained from another source (inference or hearsay). This distinction is gram…
Better late than early
This study aimed to investigate how bilingual speakers process information in a bilingual mode setting which was created using a translation production task. The target linguistic property was evidentiality. It is grammatical and obligatory in Turkish and lexical and optional in English. The stimuli consisted of simple declarative sentences which were varied based on the evidential meaning (firsthand vs. non-firsthand). Then participants judged h…
Lost in translation, apparently
We investigated how bilingual speakers process evidentiality information in a dual language activation setting (Green & Abutalebi, 2013) using a translation production and confidence judgment task. Due to interaction of multiple factors in bilingual processing a multifactor model CASP ( Complex Adaptive System Principles ) for Bilingualism (Filipović & Hawkins, 2019) was used as a theoretical frame. Evidentiality indicates the source of informati…

Script Directionality Affects Depiction of Depth in Representational Drawings
This research examined the influence of directional reading/writing habits on the representation of depth in a scene. Participants with English vs. Arabic language backgrounds were asked to represent an imagined scene containing two houses, a "near house" and a "far house." Nearly all participants drew the near house larger than the far house and drew the near house before drawing the far house. However, significant group differences in spatial s…
