Abstract
THE EXAMINATION OF THE VERB “TO DIE” IN DEDE KORKUT STORIES WITH COMPUTATIONAL MODELING METHODS REGARDING COLLOCATION AND SEMANTIC PROSODY
The semantic form arising from the semantic relations of collocational structures is called semantic prosody. The concept of semantic prosody is closely related to the concept of collocation. Semantic prosody is the mostly negative, occasionally positive and sometimes neutral quality of a word acquired through its relations with other words in the same collocation. There are few studies on “Collocation” and “Semantic Prosody” of Turkish historical texts. The lack of collocation studies on the historical periods of Turkish, along with the possibility of studying linguistic phenomena using linguistic methods has led us to conduct a study on collocation and semantic prosody from a computational perspective. In our study, it was observed that the necessary vocabulary for the detection of collocation and semantic prosody is present in texts writen in historical Turkish. The subject of collocation is conducted with computer aided methods due to fact that it has become possible to study languages with statistical and rule based computational linguistic methods owing to developments in information technologies. Therefore our study is based on the examination of the verb “to die” with computational modeling methods regarding collocation and semantic prosody.
