On the universality of cognitive biases in natural language: The case of noun phrase internal ordersing

Akyürek, Sunay

The present study experimentally investigates the order of NP-internal modifiers in gesture modality as practiced by Turkish speaking participants in an attempt to understand the natural order within NPs cross linguistically, whether the participants’ preferences reflect a homomorphism bias, and whether their preferences are influenced by their native language. For these purposes, Turkish-speaking participants (N=44) randomly assigned to two conditions where access to their native language was suppressed in the first block (suppression-first condition) or where access to their native language ...Daha fazlası

The influence of community size on constituent order: A comparison between emerging and conventionalized sign languages

Ticau, Valeria

The current study examines the effect of community size on constituent order by comparing conventionalized sign languages (TID and LIBRAS) and emerging sing languages (CTSL and CENA) from two different countries. When the relevant literature is examined, it is observed that languages that emerge in communities with larger populations tend to have a more uniform structure, while languages that emerge in smaller and closed-knitcommunities exhibit greater diversity regarding their constituent order. Data was collected through an elicitation task comprised of 30 short video clips containing senten ...Daha fazlası

Examining the effects of interoceptive awareness and self-focus on emotion perception from point-light dance movements: an eye tracking study

Arı, İlkay

Emotional expressions are vital in human social interactions and effective communication. This study explored the influence of interoceptive awareness and self-focused attention on emotion perception from dynamic point-light dance movements along with the underlying eye behaviour. Eighty adult participants underwent random assignment into either the selffocus or control group, while considering age, gender, and interoceptive awareness. To assess interoceptive awareness, data were collected through both a heartbeat counting task and the implementation of the MAIA-2 Questionnaire. Self-focus gr ...Daha fazlası
