Derlem temelli analiz: Ana dili İngilizce olan ve olmayanların yükseklisans tezlerindeki geçiş belirleyici türleri

Bu araştırma anadili İngilizce olan ve olmayanların yükseklisans tezlerindeki geçiş belirleyici türlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. İngiliz Dili Eğitimi alanından 2010-2014 yılları arasında her bir gruptan rastgele seçilen yükseklisans tezlerinin giriş, bulgu ve tartışma, ve sonuç bölümlerindeki geçiş belirleyici türlerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Veriler Keyword in Concordance (KWIC) Metin Analiz Programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Geçiş belirleyici türlerinin yüzdelikleri, 1,000 kelimedeki frekansları ve kullanımları bakımından anlamlı bir farkın olup olmadığı Log-likelihood (LL) değerleri hesaplanarak yorumlanmıştır. Çalışma bulguları, her bir grubun yükseklisans tezlerinin incelenen bölümlerindeki geçiş belirleyici türlerinin kullanım yüzdeliklerinin ve 1,000 kelimedeki frekanslarının farklı olduğunu göstermiştir.

A corpus-based analysis: The types of transition markers in the MA theses of native speakers of English and Turkish speakers of English

This study has been conducted to evaluate transition marker (TM) types in the MA theses written by the nativespeakers (NSs) of English and Turkish speakers (TSs) of English. The purpose is to compare the most salienttransition types of the NSs and TSs randomly selected theses introduction, results and discussion, and conclusionsections in the field of ELT between 2010 and 2014. The Keyword in Concordance (KWIC) was used to analyzethe data. TM types were analyzed in terms of percentages, frequencies per 1,000 words and they were interpretedby calculating the log-likelihood (LL) value if there was a significant difference in their usage. The resultsillustrated that the frequencies, and frequencies per 1,000 words of the most salient transition type usage in thesections were different.
