For this purpose, a literature review was conducted and prom-inent definitions and ten articles related to the fields of discourse analysis and semiotic analysis were examined. It has been found that, in some re-spects, the concepts of the discourse analysis approach and the semiotic analysis method shown similarities with each other and have been used in-terchangeably. In some discourse analysis studies, it has been determined that there are serious differences between the theoretical defini-tions\explanations –which form the basis of the analysis– and their appli-cation to the analysis activity. In order to suggest an answer to the question of which analysis method can be adopted for what reason(s), an analysis method was tried on the usages of the euphemism examples –taken from second hand vehicle sales advertisements– such as “palm-sized local paint” for a vehicle that has been painted after an accident, or “our vehicle has dimples” for a vehicle that has dents on its body after hail damage, etc. This attempt at analysis showed that it is also possible to use discourse analysis and semiotic analysis methods interchangeably. Finally, in order to mini-mize differences between the method and its practice in the field, and to ensure a unity of attitude; there is a need for consistent definitional ap-proaches of semiotic and discursive analyzes. Hence definitions should be made in detail, and differences in methodological approaches between se-miotic analysis and discourse analysis must be fully determined with their respective limitations.

The problem addressed here is that of the factoring out of possessive and plural affi xes in an NP made up of two Ns. Although a frequent phenomenon, it has not been so widely studied as that of the factoring out of other fl exional affi xes. Moreover, in every grammar consulted, it is admitted that for an NP with two coordinated Ns to be grammatical, both affi xes of plural and possessive must be factored out together. Now we show that this claim is contradicted by attested data, and that the possessive affi x can be factored out on its own. We then try and shed some light on the conditions that make this possible, and show that the constraints are semantic in nature: for the possessive affi x to be factored out on its own, both coordinated Ns must be individual level.

Richard Aldington's two poems, London (May 1915) and Eros and Psyche, come to depict Surrealist image spheres, as their visual representations in words would show. The dialectical optic of the poet comes to reveal an allegorical synthesis, giving birth to new meanings. The city of London shows the irrational fusion of the opposites, in a way which a Surrealist reading of these two poems is able to construct a critical virtue.

La asociación internacional del estudio del dolor (IASP) define el dolor crónico como aquél que puede ser intermitente o continuo y se mantiene por lo menos 3 meses. La persona con dolor crónico se ve afectada a nivel psicológico. El objetivo de este estudio cualitativo de tipo fenomenológico es identificar y analizar los aspectos relacionados con la aceptación (desde el modelo de la terapia de aceptación y compromiso -ACT y la teoría de los marcos relacionales -TMR) del dolor en pacientes crónicos. El método principal fue una entrevista individual semi-estructurada. Los actores de investigación fueron 2 personas de sexo femenino. El análisis se realizó con categorizaciones (NVIVO 10). Se encontró que el significado del dolor varía según la intensidad del malestar e incapacidad percibida.

Sinemanın, bir anlatım aracı olması yönüyle kendine özgü bir dili vardır. İşte bu dil, nasıl bir dildir? Sözel insan diliyle karşılaştırılabilir mi? Dilbilim ve / veya göstergebilim sinemanın dili konusuna nasıl yaklaşmaktadır? Bu sorular 20. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısından başlayarak birçok araştırmacının dikkatini çekmiş, konuyla ilgili hatırı sayılır çalışmalar kaleme alınmıştır. Bu konuda Chritian Metz, Rolan Barthes, Peter Wollen, Rudolf Arnheim akla ilk gelen isimler arasında sayılabilir. Sinemadaki görselliklerin, göstergebilimcilerin; dil yetisi olma özelliğinin de dilbilimcilerin ilgisini çektiği söylense de böyle bir ayrıma gitmek o kadar kolay gözükmemektedir. Sinemanın dilini anlamak ve anlatmak söz konusu olduğunda; dilbilimin mi, göstergebilimin mi daha çok söyleyecek sözü olduğu yoksa her ikisinin de aslında aynı şeyi mi söylediği de ayrı bir merak konusudur. Bu çalışma, bir taraftan genel olarak sinema dili ile ilgili bazı görüşlerin irdelenmesi amacını taşırken, diğer tarafından yukarıdaki soru ve benzerlerine bir cevap arayışı niyetiyle kaleme alınmıştır. SEMIOTICS AND CINEMA OR SEMIOTICS OF CINEMA The cinema is one of the strongest means of expression. The cinematic language is distinctive, in terms of its visual expressions. So, what kind of language is this? Can it be compared to the verbal languages? How can one use Linguistics, or, more precisely, Semiotic approaches, to make sense of the cinematic language? These questions have drew the attention of scholars since the beginning of the second half of the Twentieth Century. Among them, substantial studies have been done by, for instance, Christian Metz, Roland Barthes, Peter Wollen, and Rudolf Arnheim. In their writings, it is suggested that cinematic visuality attracts semioticians. Moreover, cinematic visuality, as a form of visual languages, comes to show the potential of being analysed linguistically. And yet, it seems that the link between the visual and the verbal languages is not a stable one. When it comes to the understanding of the cinematic language and its expression, to what extent it can be called as the ‘semiotic approach’? This research aims to answer this question, among others: semiotics can be applied in both verbal and visual languages, because these two languages have some fundamental similarities?

We show that each derived nominal form in-(y)Iş and-mE can be considered as originating either in a verb or in a clause and we identify the criteria that can allow to determine what kind of derivation a given form is an example of. Adopting a lexicalist stance, we then show how a Generative Lexicon can provide an adequate representation of the semantics of the base verb and how lexical rules we designed capture the semantics of the derived nominals. We finally show how these rules allow various predictions to be made regarding productivity and compatibility with matrix predicates.

Incelemede kitaplardaki dil ve anlatim, dil bilgisi basta olmak uzere hata ve yanlisliklar ele alinmis; kitaplardaki metinlerin okunabilirlik ve tumce uzunluklari acisindan ogrenci duzeyine uygun olup olmadigi sorgulanmistir. Inceleme sonucunda, ilkogretim Turkce dersi kitaplarinda gozden kacan bazi yazim yanlislarinin yani sira ogrenci duzeyinin uzerinde metinler bulundugu gozlemlenmistir. Soz konusu metinlerdeki en buyuk sorunu; anlasilmasi, ogrenilmesi zor sozcukler olusturmaktadir. Ogrencilerin bu sozcukleri sozluklerden bakarak bile kavramalarinin zor oldugu dusunulmektedir. Kitaplardaki “bicimsel gorunum” ve “bilimsel icerik” inceleme disinda tutulmustur. Calismada uzerinde durulan diger bir konu da anadili bilinci ve bu bilincin kazandirilmasina yonelik metinlerin nicelik yonunden incelenmesi olmustur. Anadili bilinci kazandirmaya yonelik metinlerin incelenmesinde MEB yayinlari ozellikle tercih edilmis; ilgili yayinlardaki metinlerin nicelik olarak yetersiz oldugu sonucuna varilmistir. Bu yetersizligin 8. Sinif Turkce dersi kitabinda daha da belirgin oldugu gozlemlenmistir. Calisma sonunda anadili bilinci kazandirmaya yonelik bazi gorus ve onerilere yer verilmistir.

Ad ve sıfatın sözdizimsel (fr.syntaxique) konumları tüm dillerde genellikle düzenli bir görünüm sergiler. Örneğin, Türkçe ve İngilizcede sıfatlar niteledikleri addan önce gelir. İngilizce için-bu anlamda-birkaç kural dışılıktan söz edilebilse de (ör. : an important man / something important) Türkçe daha düzenli bir yapıdadır (ör.:önemli bir adam / önemli bir şey). Fransızca ise çok daha değişik ve üzerinde durulması gereken kullanımlara sahiptir. Bu bağlamda Fransızcada sıfat kavramı ve türlerine değinilecek, sıfatın yeri konusu irdelenecektir. Fransızcada sıfatlar niteledikleri addan hem önce hem de sonra gelebilmektedir (ör.: un ancien château / un château ancien). Bu çalışmada bu dilbilimsel ilişkinin niteliği ve niceliği sorgulanacak, sözdizimi düzeyinde gerçekleşen / gerçekleştirilen bu işlemin anlam bilimini (fr.sémantique) nasıl ilgilendirdiği ele alınacaktır. Öte yandan sıfatın isimden önce ya da sonra kullanılmasının anlamı etkileyip etkilemediği sorgulanacak, eğer etkiliyorsa bunun, Fransızca sıfat tamlamalarını Türkçeye çevirirken nasıl bir görünüm ortaya koyduğu incelenecektir. Dil/söz ayrımı bağlamında, sözceleyen öznenin tercihlerinin de tartışma konusu yapılacağı çalışmada, zorunlu olarak addan önce ya da sonra gelen sıfatlar ile isteğe bağlı olarak addan önce ya da sonra getirilebilen sıfatlar-Türkçeye çevirileriyle birlikte-ayrı ayrı açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.

The study has been carried out in Gaziantep University Higher School of Foreign Languages. The sample of the study has covered 421 preparatory class students at Higher School of Foreign Languages. As a data collection tool through the study, the students were given a 60-item reading comprehension test, which was previously inquired by OSYM, in their mother tongue (Turkish). Afterwards, a 60-item foreign language proficiency test was conducted to reveal students' proficiency levels. The students were distributed to three proficiency levels -namely A, B and C, according to their proficiency levels. Also, six midterm exams and twenty quizzes were conducted during the year. At the end of the year, the final exam of foreign language was conducted. As a holistic grade, 40% of the yearly grades and 60% of the final exam were taken. Consequently, the students' foreign language proficiency levels were determined. All collected data was analyzed according to the data characteristics using analysis techniques (as Anova, Post-Hoc Test, Correlation and Partial Correlation) and use of SPSS in accordance with the purpose of the study, and the results were presented and * Bu makale Crosscheck sistemi tarafından taranmış ve bu sistem sonuçlarına göre orijinal bir makale olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Obviously, various techniques and methods are employed to help learners to acquire language skills. The most important aspect of language skills and outcomes is to teach basic core vocabulary belonging to one language. In this study, English word sets included in the European Language Portfolio (ELP) A1 level and word sets given in Yunus Emre Institute Teaching Turkish for Foreign Learners A1 textbook (YEILT) were compared. Research results indicated that a total of 779 words were found in the ELP, and a total of 1856 words were detected in the YEILT. These quantitative data refer to the words which are "known" for the ELP and the words "need to be known" for the YEILT. 55% of the words were the same in both the ELP and the YEILT. Furthermore, as the data about the ELP are limited, it may be suggested that the similarity of the words is satisfactory in terms of the outcomes. On the other hand, because the data about the ELP are obtained through translation, there are some disadvantages of obtaining data about words without their contexts, and this requires special efforts. The word sets given at the end of Turkish textbook were used to determine the words in the YEILT. Then the word sets in the YEILT were categorized according to their types in order to make a comparison among them. The same categorization procedure was employed for the words in the ELP. By making comparisons, it was aimed to determine whether the words demonstrated a significant difference according to the word types, and then significance levels were found (p<0,05

The T-shirts, unlike other clothes, have something written on them; and most of these writings are in English. In this respect, the researcher is looking at a linguistic dimension in social aspects. The interaction between society and language is the subject of sociolinguistic studies. In this context, the research questions are: when individuals' have some T-shirts preferences, how can this be understood in terms of gender, age and educational levels? Do individuals know the meaning of these writings on their clothes? Does the meaning of the written texts matter for those individuals? When subjected to a semantic classification, to which concept areas can T-shirt writings be associated to, such as concepts of advice, slogan, concise word, advertisement, propaganda, sexuality and fun? In order to find answers to these questions, a questionnaire study was conducted in 2018 and 2019 with the participation of 835 people on a voluntary basis, with simple random sample selection. In this semantic concept area classification, the concepts with the highest frequency value have been "slogan and concise word" elements. The data collected from the participants (according to age, gender, educational status; knowing the meaning of the T-shirt writings or not; the relationship of knowing the meaning to other variables and the choice of T-shirt) were analyzed in terms of significance values with the SPSS analysis program. As a result of the analysis, it was found that T-shirts were mostly preferred between the ages of 15-25 (87.8%); women preferred T-shirts more than men (52.9%); the majority of the participants (74.7%) were university graduates, and it has been observed that more than half of the participants (52.8) do not know the meaning of the text on T-shirts. In addition, most of the participants (77.7%) stated that there is no special reason for choosing written T-shirts. Contrary to the predictions, the data showed that the text on the T-shirts is in Turkish or a foreign language does not matter to the individuals (50.3% versus 49.7%). In the distribution of the meaning categories according to gender, it is found that the T-shirts worn by women (83.9%) contain much more "sexuality" compared to the men's (16.1%). Again, it was found that the same situation (Female: 74.2%; Male: 25.8%) was also valid for the "fun" element. In terms of the relationship between the category of meaning and knowing the meaning, "sexuality" (55.4%) and "fun" (60.8%) items were the most well-known elements.

Incelemede kitaplardaki dil ve anlatim, dil bilgisi basta olmak uzere hata ve yanlisliklar ele alinmis; kitaplardaki metinlerin okunabilirlik ve tumce uzunluklari acisindan ogrenci duzeyine uygun olup olmadigi sorgulanmistir. Inceleme sonucunda, ilkogretim Turkce dersi kitaplarinda gozden kacan bazi yazim yanlislarinin yani sira ogrenci duzeyinin uzerinde metinler bulundugu gozlemlenmistir. Soz konusu metinlerdeki en buyuk sorunu; anlasilmasi, ogrenilmesi zor sozcukler olusturmaktadir. Ogrencilerin bu sozcukleri sozluklerden bakarak bile kavramalarinin zor oldugu dusunulmektedir. Kitaplardaki “bicimsel gorunum” ve “bilimsel icerik” inceleme disinda tutulmustur. Calismada uzerinde durulan diger bir konu da anadili bilinci ve bu bilincin kazandirilmasina yonelik metinlerin nicelik yonunden incelenmesi olmustur. Anadili bilinci kazandirmaya yonelik metinlerin incelenmesinde MEB yayinlari ozellikle tercih edilmis; ilgili yayinlardaki metinlerin nicelik olarak yetersiz oldugu sonucuna varilmistir. Bu yetersizligin 8. Sinif Turkce dersi kitabinda daha da belirgin oldugu gozlemlenmistir. Calisma sonunda anadili bilinci kazandirmaya yonelik bazi gorus ve onerilere yer verilmistir.

Ad ve sıfatın sözdizimsel (fr.syntaxique) konumları tüm dillerde genellikle düzenli bir görünüm sergiler. Örneğin, Türkçe ve İngilizcede sıfatlar niteledikleri addan önce gelir. İngilizce için-bu anlamda-birkaç kural dışılıktan söz edilebilse de (ör. : an important man / something important) Türkçe daha düzenli bir yapıdadır (ör.:önemli bir adam / önemli bir şey). Fransızca ise çok daha değişik ve üzerinde durulması gereken kullanımlara sahiptir. Bu bağlamda Fransızcada sıfat kavramı ve türlerine değinilecek, sıfatın yeri konusu irdelenecektir. Fransızcada sıfatlar niteledikleri addan hem önce hem de sonra gelebilmektedir (ör.: un ancien château / un château ancien). Bu çalışmada bu dilbilimsel ilişkinin niteliği ve niceliği sorgulanacak, sözdizimi düzeyinde gerçekleşen / gerçekleştirilen bu işlemin anlam bilimini (fr.sémantique) nasıl ilgilendirdiği ele alınacaktır. Öte yandan sıfatın isimden önce ya da sonra kullanılmasının anlamı etkileyip etkilemediği sorgulanacak, eğer etkiliyorsa bunun, Fransızca sıfat tamlamalarını Türkçeye çevirirken nasıl bir görünüm ortaya koyduğu incelenecektir. Dil/söz ayrımı bağlamında, sözceleyen öznenin tercihlerinin de tartışma konusu yapılacağı çalışmada, zorunlu olarak addan önce ya da sonra gelen sıfatlar ile isteğe bağlı olarak addan önce ya da sonra getirilebilen sıfatlar-Türkçeye çevirileriyle birlikte-ayrı ayrı açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.

The study has been carried out in Gaziantep University Higher School of Foreign Languages. The sample of the study has covered 421 preparatory class students at Higher School of Foreign Languages. As a data collection tool through the study, the students were given a 60-item reading comprehension test, which was previously inquired by OSYM, in their mother tongue (Turkish). Afterwards, a 60-item foreign language proficiency test was conducted to reveal students' proficiency levels. The students were distributed to three proficiency levels -namely A, B and C, according to their proficiency levels. Also, six midterm exams and twenty quizzes were conducted during the year. At the end of the year, the final exam of foreign language was conducted. As a holistic grade, 40% of the yearly grades and 60% of the final exam were taken. Consequently, the students' foreign language proficiency levels were determined. All collected data was analyzed according to the data characteristics using analysis techniques (as Anova, Post-Hoc Test, Correlation and Partial Correlation) and use of SPSS in accordance with the purpose of the study, and the results were presented and * Bu makale Crosscheck sistemi tarafından taranmış ve bu sistem sonuçlarına göre orijinal bir makale olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Obviously, various techniques and methods are employed to help learners to acquire language skills. The most important aspect of language skills and outcomes is to teach basic core vocabulary belonging to one language. In this study, English word sets included in the European Language Portfolio (ELP) A1 level and word sets given in Yunus Emre Institute Teaching Turkish for Foreign Learners A1 textbook (YEILT) were compared. Research results indicated that a total of 779 words were found in the ELP, and a total of 1856 words were detected in the YEILT. These quantitative data refer to the words which are "known" for the ELP and the words "need to be known" for the YEILT. 55% of the words were the same in both the ELP and the YEILT. Furthermore, as the data about the ELP are limited, it may be suggested that the similarity of the words is satisfactory in terms of the outcomes. On the other hand, because the data about the ELP are obtained through translation, there are some disadvantages of obtaining data about words without their contexts, and this requires special efforts. The word sets given at the end of Turkish textbook were used to determine the words in the YEILT. Then the word sets in the YEILT were categorized according to their types in order to make a comparison among them. The same categorization procedure was employed for the words in the ELP. By making comparisons, it was aimed to determine whether the words demonstrated a significant difference according to the word types, and then significance levels were found (p<0,05

Sémiologie; Sémiotique / İng. Semiology; Semiotics). Semiyoloji ve Semiyotik aynı şeyler midir, farklı şeyler mi? Biz bu kavramların eş anlamlı değil; olsa olsa yakın anlamlı olabileceklerini düşünüyoruz. Bu makalede bu kavramlar ve bu kavramlara ilişkin görüşler irdelenecektir.

The T-shirts, unlike other clothes, have something written on them; and most of these writings are in English. In this respect, the researcher is looking at a linguistic dimension in social aspects. The interaction between society and language is the subject of sociolinguistic studies. In this context, the research questions are: when individuals' have some T-shirts preferences, how can this be understood in terms of gender, age and educational levels? Do individuals know the meaning of these writings on their clothes? Does the meaning of the written texts matter for those individuals? When subjected to a semantic classification, to which concept areas can T-shirt writings be associated to, such as concepts of advice, slogan, concise word, advertisement, propaganda, sexuality and fun? In order to find answers to these questions, a questionnaire study was conducted in 2018 and 2019 with the participation of 835 people on a voluntary basis, with simple random sample selection. In this semantic concept area classification, the concepts with the highest frequency value have been "slogan and concise word" elements. The data collected from the participants (according to age, gender, educational status; knowing the meaning of the T-shirt writings or not; the relationship of knowing the meaning to other variables and the choice of T-shirt) were analyzed in terms of significance values with the SPSS analysis program. As a result of the analysis, it was found that T-shirts were mostly preferred between the ages of 15-25 (87.8%); women preferred T-shirts more than men (52.9%); the majority of the participants (74.7%) were university graduates, and it has been observed that more than half of the participants (52.8) do not know the meaning of the text on T-shirts. In addition, most of the participants (77.7%) stated that there is no special reason for choosing written T-shirts. Contrary to the predictions, the data showed that the text on the T-shirts is in Turkish or a foreign language does not matter to the individuals (50.3% versus 49.7%). In the distribution of the meaning categories according to gender, it is found that the T-shirts worn by women (83.9%) contain much more "sexuality" compared to the men's (16.1%). Again, it was found that the same situation (Female: 74.2%; Male: 25.8%) was also valid for the "fun" element. In terms of the relationship between the category of meaning and knowing the meaning, "sexuality" (55.4%) and "fun" (60.8%) items were the most well-known elements.
