A Comparative Corpus-based Study on the Use of Phrasal Verbs by Turkish EFL Learners and L1 English Speakers

This study investigates the usage of phrasal verbs (PVs) by Turkish learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) compared to native English speakers. Using corpus linguistics, the research compares spoken and written language samples to identify patterns of overuse, underuse, or avoidance of PVs by learners. The aim is to provide data-driven insights that can inform teaching methodologies and the development of learning materials for EFL students. The findings highlight specific areas where Turkish learners' PV usage differs from native speakers, particularly in the spoken register, and offer practical recommendations for educators and learners. The research focuses on identifying the most frequently used phrasal verbs, adverbial verb particles (AVPs), and lexical verbs (LVs) in both learner and native corpora. It aims to understand whether Turkish EFL learners' choices in PVs align with those of native speakers and to pinpoint any tendencies towards underuse, especially in spoken contexts. This comparative analysis seeks to address the challenges learners face with PVs due to their complexity, multiple meanings, and syntactic structures, offering a corpus-informed approach to improve language teaching and learning.

A linguistic and discursive analysis of the humour in Arabic novels written in vernacular: examples of e-Arabic genre

This research examines the linguistic features of humor and satire within a contemporary literary genre known as e-Arabic literature. It explores how the use of Information Technology and Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) has influenced Arabic culture and its literary landscape, specifically focusing on the emergence of this new genre. The study positions e-Arabic literature as a subfield of humor within Arabic literature, contributing to theories of humor and highlighting e-Arabic as a new variety of Arabic within the broader context of CMC. The research investigates how Arabic writers use satire and humor to raise awareness of social and political issues in their cultures. It also analyzes the specific use of rhetorical questions, interrogative phrases, and punctuation in crafting unique and creative humorous and satirical writing styles. Furthermore, the research delves into the factors contributing to the popularity of political satire in e-Arabic literature and its potential impact on societal change. Data is drawn from novels originating from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Syria, written in various Arabic vernacular dialects. The findings indicate a significant use of satirical and humorous discourse in these vernacular novels, often linked to critiques of religious institutions and political systems. The study identifies linguistic tactics like juxtaposition, contradiction, and implausibility as key devices employed by writers to generate humor and construct satirical criticism.

A Microeconomic Model of Opportunistic Financial Crimes: Prosecutorial Strategy When Firms Are Too Big To Jail

This research paper examines the challenges faced by prosecutors when dealing with corporate financial crimes, particularly when firms are deemed "Too Big To Jail" (TBTJ). It develops a new microeconomic model to analyze prosecutorial strategies in such scenarios. The paper argues that the TBTJ problem can reduce the deterrent effect of policies relying on large corporate fines. Furthermore, it suggests that TBTJ firms may not be incentivized to invest in internal controls and could even subsidize employee criminal activity. The research proposes that to counteract this, prosecutors should shift focus towards prosecuting individual managers, thereby increasing their personal risk for dishonest dealings.

A New Way to Map Small-Scale Irrigation Areas

This program focuses on identifying and mapping small-scale irrigation areas, a critical task for effective water resource management and food security. It introduces a novel method that combines high-resolution multispectral time-series satellite imagery with digital elevation model (DEM) analysis and expert local knowledge. This approach is particularly useful in complex topographic and semi-arid environments, offering a more accurate way to delineate irrigated land compared to previous methods. The method was developed and tested in the Zamra catchment in Ethiopia, a region prioritizing agricultural irrigation expansion to improve livelihoods and food security. The course will delve into the steps involved in this new approach, including setting expert-defined thresholds for various geographic and spectral data, applying a random forest classifier for mapping, and characterizing different irrigation scheme types. By learning this technique, participants can contribute to better water management strategies and support food security initiatives. The course also touches upon the importance of utilizing publicly available satellite data and cloud services for hydrological analysis.
