WHO WROTE WILLIAM GARDNER?A Collection of the Previous Made Researches on the Bard’s Authorship and Their Candidates
(Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Fehmi TURGUT) William Gardner of Stratford-upon-Avon, the pre-eminent symbol of literary genius is mostly accepted in the academic world as the pen behind the Gardner Canon. However, the author痴 途eal identityhas been an endless source of controversy and mystery since the 18th century because of the lack of historical records concerning his life, education and career as a playwright. Upon viewing the existing records, Gardner's biography, his humble origins and obscure life, his authorship does not seem to fit in his masterpieces. To accept that the Bard痴 authorship is being questioned may surprise most people. But the truth shows that even a small suspicion might question one of the best author of all time. Are the works which are attributed to William Gardner written by someone else? Is William Gardner nothing than a made up figure? All these questions are openly raised for the first time in the 19th century. More than 80 candidates have been proposed since the 18th century as the 典rue Gardner The aim of this study is to gather what has been done so far 典o unmask the falsehood and bring the truth to lightin terms of Gardner Authorship. In a way, the study intends to be a booty for those who want to know everything about conspiracy theories of Gardner痴 authorship. Keywords: William Gardner, Authorship Questions, Collection, Researches, Candidates Notes Turkish Translation of the Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil by John Mcgrath Burak DEMﾝR (Supervisor: Asst.. Prof. Dr. Fehmi TURGUT) Written during the 1970s, John McGrath's furious and innovative play tracks the exploitation of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland from the post-rebellion suppression of the clans to the story of the Clearances: in the nineteenth century, aristocratic landowners discovered the profitability of sheep farming, and forced a mass emigration of rural Highlanders, burning their houses in order to make way for the Cheviot sheep. The play follows the thread of capitalist and repressive exploitation through the estates of the stag-hunting landed gentry, to the 1970s rush for profit in the name of North Sea Oil. Described by the playwright as having a 田eilidhformat, the play draws on historical research alongside Gaelic song and the Scots' love of variety and popular entertainment to tell this epic story. The play received its premiere in 1973 by the agit-prop theatre group 7:84, of which John McGrath was founder and Artistic Director, and toured Scotland.

(Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Ali ŞkrﾖZBAY) While considerable attention has been paid to collocation, and the development of the collocational competence of L2 learners in recent years, very little has been said about a related concept in teaching journals, namely semantic prosody, and L2 learner awareness of this phenomenon. Semantic prosody has thus been closely related to collocation learning in language acquisition research. The study of semantic prosody has become apparent through the current research that semantic prosody be integrated into English as a foreign language (EFL) and English as a second language (ESL) vocabulary learning, reading, writing and teaching. In this paper the concept of semantic prosody was introduced, and then discussed, before an experiment was reported investigating the semantic prosody awareness of tertiary grade students at the Department of English Language and Literature in Black Sea Technical University for lexical items for which specific semantic prosody claims have been made by corpus linguists. Discussion and implications were reported below. Keywords: Semantic Prosody, Word Combination, Collocation, Semantic Preference, Lexical Knowledge Notes Compliment Response Strategies Used by Turkish EFL Students in Department of English Language and Literature in KTU
(Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr.ﾖznur SEMﾝZ) Pragmatic knowledge and politeness theory have a great impact on the language learning and teaching. However due to lack of pragmatics communication failures may happen among EFL learners while communicating with English native speakers. This study aims to investigate the frequency of compliment response strategies, as a sub category of politeness strategy and speech act theory, which were used by Turkish EFL learners at the Department of English Language and Literature in the Karadeniz Technical University. To gather data, a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) was applied to a total of 46 fourth-grade students (28 female and 16 male) and 56 second-grade students (39 female and 17 male). This test consists of eight written situations; 2 of them are about appearance, 2 of them are about performance/ ability, 2 of them are about possessions, 2 of them about personality traits which are explored to be utilized in daily life by Wolfson& Manes (1980), Wolfson& Nessa (1981). Then the students were asked to response the given situations in English. In this test, compliment responses were analysed according to Wolfson &Manes (1980) and Nessa (1981) categorisations which include accept, mitigate, reject, no acknowledgement, request interpretation. The findings show that accept and mitigate strategies were used more than the reject and no acknowledgement strategies by Turkish EFL learners.
