Life after the Harem
The first study exploring the lives of female slaves of the Ottoman imperial court, drawing from hitherto unexplored primary sources
The Grandchildren
The Grandchildren is a collection of intimate, harrowing testimonies by grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Turkey's "forgotten Armenians"—the orphans adopted and Islamized by Muslims after the Armenian genocide. Through them we learn of the tortuous routes by which they came to terms with the painful stories of their grandparents and their own identity. The postscript offers a historical overview of the silence about Islamized Armenians in most histories of the genocide. When Fethiye cetin first published her groundbreaking memoir in Turkey, My Grandmother, she spoke of her grandmother's hidden Armenian identity. The book sparked a conversation among Turks about the fate of the Ottoman Armenians in Anatolia in 1915. This resulted in an explosion of debate on Islamized Armenians and their legacy in contemporary Muslim families. The Grandchildren (translated from Turkish) is a follow-up to My Grandmother, and is an important contribution to understanding survival during atrocity. As witnesses to a dark chapter of history, the grandchildren of these survivors cast new light on the workings of memory in coming to terms with difficult pasts.
Ottoman Women during World War I
Using the newest sources, this book reveals the experience of Ottoman Muslim women during World War I.
Orphans and Destitute Children in the Late Ottoman Empire
History books often weave tales of rising and falling empires, royal dynasties, and wars among powerful nations. Here, Maksudyan succeeds in making those who are farthest removed from power the lead actors in this history. Focusing on orphans and destitute youth of the late Ottoman Empire, the author gives voice to those children who have long been neglected. Their experiences and perspectives shed new light on many significant developments of the late Ottoman period, providing an alternative narrative that recognizes children as historical agents. Maksudyan takes the reader from the intimate world of infant foundlings to the larger international context of missionary orphanages, all while focusing on Ottoman modernization, urbanization, citizenship, and the maintenance of order and security. Drawing upon archival records, she explores the ways in which the treatment of orphans intersected with welfare, labor, and state building in the Empire. Throughout the book, Maksudyan does not lose sight of her lead actors, and the influence of the children is always present if we simply listen and notice carefully as Maksudyan so convincingly argues.
Sugar in The Ottoman Empire During World War I
During World War I, Ottoman consumers suffered from sugar shortages, like some other victuals. For investigating these difficulties, there had been some valuable studies. Especially, print media of the time was an important source of knowledge. But importation part of sugar did not detailed enough, in previous studies. During my archival researches, I met Hariciye Nezareti İdare documents. These documents mostly contain information about the activities of embassies of Ottoman Empire. Most of sugar importers demanded help from embassies.
Variability and Consistency in Early Language Learning
A data-driven exploration of how children's language learning varies across different languages, providing both a theoretical framework and reference. The Wordbank Project examines variability and consistency in children's language learning across different languages and cultures, drawing on Wordbank, an open database with data from more than 75,000 children and twenty-nine languages or dialects. This big data approach makes the book the most comprehensive cross-linguistic analysis to date of early language learning. Moreover, its data-driven picture of which aspects of language learning are consistent across languages suggests constraints on the nature of children's language learning mechanisms. The book provides both a theoretical framework for scholars of language learning, language, and human cognition, and a resource for future research.
The Crosslinguistic Study of Language Acquisition
In this final volume in the series, the contributors attempt to "expand the contexts" in which child language has been examined crosslinguistically. The chapters build on themes that have been touched on, anticipated, and promised in earlier volumes in the series. The study of child language has been situated in the disciplines of psychology and linguistics, and has been most responsive to dominant issues in those fields such as nativism and learning, comprehension and production, errors, input, and universals of morphology and syntax. The context has primarily been that of the individual child, interacting with a parent, and deciphering the linguistic code. The code has been generally treat...
Türk Halk Hukuku
İnsanoğlunun bir arada yaşama tecrübesi, toplumsallaşma ve sosyalleşme süreçlerinin belirli kurallar çerçevesinde düzenlenmesini gerektirmiştir. Bu kurallar, yazılı hukuk kurallarından önce, gündelik hayatta işlerliği olan, bireyler arası sınırları ve toplumsal konuların çözümlerini belirleyen sözlü hukuk kurallarıdır. Toplumların genel yapısına göre belirlenip gelişen bu kurallar, toplumda düzen ve güvenliği sağlar. Toplumun ortak değer, inanış ve kabulleriyle şekillenen örf ve âdetler, modern hukukun kaynaklarından biridir. Hukuk, toplumsal düzen işlevini yerine getirirken toplumun pozitif hukuka aykırı olmayan uygulamalarını da dikkate ...
Essays on Turkish Linguistics
This book contains 48 papers presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Turkish Linguistics, held by Ankara University in August 6-8, 2008. The contributions to this conference cover a wide range of topics in theoretical, descriptive and applied linguistics relating to Turkish and Turkic languages in discussing a great variety of issues related to phonology and phonetics, morphology, syntax and semantics, pragmatics and discourse, language acquisition, language contact, and applied linguistics, as they have been grouped in this volume. Although the main focus of the volume is on Turkish linguistic issues, there are also a number of articles in different modern linguistic frameworks dealing with Turkic languages and Turkish dialects. The book will be appealing to anyone interested in current issues in theoretical linguistics as well as those who are working on Turcology, linguistic typology, contact linguistics, and applied linguistics.
