TY - JOUR T1 - Examining Turkish ESL Learners’ Receptive Collocational Knowledge TT - Türk ESL Öğrencilerinin Algısal Eşdizim Bilgilerinin İncelenmesi AU - Almacıoğlu, Gamze PY - 2018 DA - July Y2 - 2018 DO - 10.21547/jss.423851 JF - Gaziantep Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi JO - GAUN-JSS PB - Gaziantep Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 1303-0094 SP - 796 EP - 812 VL - 17 IS - 3 LA - en AB - Native speakershave extensive knowledge of how words combine in their language. This knowledgeand systematic use of the combinations is considered an important element ofnative speaker competence. In the linguistics literature, ‘formulaic speech’ or‘collocations’ are the terms used for describing the recurrent combinations oflexical items. In this research, the researcher has developed a tool with a5-degree system in accordance with the related research in literature; thepurpose being to find out to what extent its target population has developed anintuitive knowledge of recognizing possible collocations of the target itemsand has been effected by their L1 while making their choices. According to thedata that has been obtained from the present collocations study, it can beargued that most of the third-grade students of The English Language andLiterature Department in a state university in Turkey have an intuitiveknowledge of recognizing suitable collocation formations. When the cut pointfor success is determined as 50, only two students scored under this point (33and 48). The rest of the students’ total grades were above this point. KW - Lexical retrieval KW - Formulaic speech KW - L1 transfer N2 - Anadili konuşanlar, kelimelerinkendi dillerinde nasıl bir araya getirildiği konusunda kapsamlı bir bilgiyesahiptir. Bu bilgi ve kombinasyonların sistematik kullanımı, ana dilikonuşabilme yeteneğinin önemli bir unsuru olarak kabul edilir. Dilbilimliteratüründe, “formülsel konuşma” veya “eşdizim”, sözcüksel yapılarıntekrarlayan kombinasyonlarını tanımlamak için kullanılan terimlerdir. Buaraştırmada araştırmacı, hedef kitlenin, muhtemel eşdizimleri tanımasıkonusunda ne ölçüde sezgisel bir bilgi geliştirdiğini ve seçimlerini yaparkenanadilleri tarafından ne kadar etkilendiklerini bulmak amacıyla literatürdekiilgili araştırmalara uygun olarak 5 dereceli bir ölçme aracı geliştirmiştir.Mevcut çalışmadan elde edilen verilere göre, Türkiye'deki bir devletüniversitesindeki İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü'nün üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerininçoğunun, uygun “eşdizim” oluşumlarını tanıma konusunda sezgisel bir bilgiyesahip oldukları iddia edilebilir. Başarı için kesme noktası 50 olarakbelirlendiğinde, sadece iki öğrenci bu değerin altında puan almıştır (33 ve48). Öğrenci notlarının geri kalanı bu ortalamanın üzerindedir.
