EXPRESSING MANNER, LOCATION, AND ORIENTATION IN MANNER-ONLY MOTION EVENTS IN TURKISH SIGN LANGUAGE

Expressing Manner, Location, and Orientation in Manner-only Motion Events in Turkish Sign Language

The path and manner of objects in motion events have been studied in many languages. Previous research has focused on whether both path and manner are expressed in the main verb and whether manner can be omitted due to saliency, narrative style, or available linguistic constructions of a particular language. However, it is unknown to what extent language users express manner when it is salient ...

Representations of action, motion, and location in sign space: A comparison of German (DGS) and Turkish (TİD) Sign Language narratives

This paper investigates the expression of referent location, motion, and action in signed event nar­ ratives in two unrelated, yet historically comparable sign languages, German Sign Language (DGS) and Turkish Sign Language (TÍD). In particular, it focuses on how classifier and lexical predicates are used to map event space onto sign space from the perspective of either an external observer or ...

Codability Effects on the Expression of Manner of Motion in Turkish and English

Identification of Manner in Bio-Events

Due to the rapid growth in the volume of biomedical literature, there is an increasing requirement for high-performance semantic search systems, which allow biologists to perform precise searches for events of interest. Such systems are usually trained on corpora of documents that contain manually annotated events. Until recently, these corpora, and hence the event extraction systems trained on...
