This article investigates the cross-linguistic comparability of newly developed lexical assessment tool Cross-linguistic Lexical Tasks (LITMUS-CLT). LITMUS-CLT is a part Language Impairment Testing in Multilingual Settings (LITMUS) battery (Armon-Lotem, de Jong & Meir, 2015). Here we analyse results on receptive and expressive word knowledge tasks for nouns verbs across 17 languages from eight different language families: Baltic (Lithuanian), Bantu (isiXhosa), Finnic (Finnish), Germanic...
ABSTRACT Two studies examined the effects of age, gender, and task on Turkish narrative skills Turkish–German bilingual children. In Study 1, 36 children (2 years, 11 months [2;11]–7;11) told stories in two conditions (“tell-after model” “tell-no model”) answered comprehension questions. 2, 13 (5;5–7;11) participated (“tell-no “retell”) were compared to 1 participants’ tell tasks. The showed significant age story complexity comprehension, but not structure internal state terms. There no for...
Background and Aim Cross-linguistic adaptations of aphasia assessment tools in Turkey are needed to improve rehabilitation with individuals speaking languages other than well-resourced languages. Aligned this need, we conducted several studies propose an adaptation "The Comprehensive Aphasia Test" (CAT) into Turkish.Methods During process; (a) lexical/linguistic visual stimuli CAT's Language Battery subtests were evaluated by examining their imageability, familiarity, name agreement features...

 This paper presents a short overview of Turkey and the Turkish language, then outlines process adapting Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) to how MAIN has been used with monolingual bilingual children. The grammatical features Turkish, critical points in adaptation our experiences extensive piloting typically developing children are described.
Relative clauses with ambiguous attachment are sometimes processed faster than their unambiguous counterparts. Two broad classes of theories account for this phenomenon: Race-based models posit that sentences read due to a "race" between several permissible analyses the sentence. In contrast, strategic underspecification maintains that, under right conditions, readers underspecify ambiguities in order save time. We argue two accounts make qualitatively different predictions structures...
Objective: Little is known about the impact of time on verbal fluency performance among elderly population. The aims this study were to (i) examine (semantic and action fluency) across four quarters 60 seconds (ii) explore relationship between demographic (education age) variables individuals. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional 58 healthy subjects (>59 years) was carried out. Five semantic categories implemented. Participants stratified into three education groups (Group 1, 2 3...
This narrative review aims to delve into the question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) could be used create images that are linguistically and culturally relevant for individuals with acquired language disorders specific consideration Turkish language. Images one highly preferred stimuli in field Speech Language Pathology (SLP), especially among both research clinical contexts. Therefore, outline is as follows: First, previous studies on image including neurotypical adults aphasia...

Objective: In this case report, we aimed to examine the effects of an intensive voice treatment (the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment [LSVT®LOUD]) for Wilson’s disease (WD), and adult cerebral palsy (CP), dysarthria.Method: The participants received LSVT®LOUD four times a week 4 weeks. Acoustic, perceptual (GRBAS) analyses were performed data from Handicap Index (VHI) obtained before after treatment.Results: Besides Harmonics-to Noise Ratio (HNR) value (dB) participant with WD, both...
The electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES) accompanies a wide spectrum of focal and generalized epilepsies, which manifest with cognitive-linguistic regression. Both ESES language impairment can be seen self-limited epileptic syndromes childhood (SFEC). association between the presence pattern on EEG severity has not been adequately clarified.Twenty-eight SFEC cases without intellectual motor disabilities 32 healthy children were recruited. Cases active (A-ESES, n=6) (non-ESES, n=22)...
Sözcük bilgisi, dil gelişiminin önemli bir temel taşıdır. Bir sözcüğün çocuğun dağarcığına katılımını takip etmek anneler veya bakıcılar için erken yaşlarda kolay olabilir; ancak sözcük edinimi hızlandıkça sözcüklerin edinim yaşlarını not almak zorlaşacaktır. İleri ise bilgisi hakkında bilgi veren objektif testlerden yararlanılmaktadır. Bu testler uygulanırken katılımcılara farklı türlerinden (ad, eylem, sıfat vb.) resimler gösterilerek adlandırmaları istenir. Mevcut araştırma, tipik...
