Yükseköğretim Kurumları Destekli Proje, 2018 - 2018
This
project is concerned with speakers’ expression and perception of direct and
indirect evidentiality in two dialects of Turkish, Standard Turkish Dialect
spoken in Turkey (TT) and Turkish Cypriot Dialect spoken in North Cyprus (CT).
In particular, the project, with a cross-linguistic perspective, aims to
investigate whether direct and indirect evidentials are expressed differently
in the two dialects of Turkish and if yes, whether language contact can account
for the difference. The following research questions were explored:
(1) If
and to what extent does the expression of evidentiality in CT and TT differ?
(2) Does
the expression of evidentiality differ in CT spoken by speakers aged between
18-22 (18+ group) and by speakers aged 50 and over (50+ group)?
(3) Can
language contact situations in North Cyprus account for dialectal variation?
(4) Do the possible variation in the expression of
evidentiality by the CT and TT speakers
create miscommunication between the the two groups?
