utku turk @utkuturk.com · 10/08/2026The preprint now includes a self paced reading experiment in Turkish, and through comparison of Czech "null" vs. Russian surprising case-ambiguity results in the light of no evidence for phonological modulation: osf.io/preprints/ps... 100
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 10/08/2026another blog post: www.utkuturk.com/posts/bayesi... this time on bimodality in person marking. i use turkish honorific addressee agreement on the verb (same as plural) and implement jammalamadaka & jin’s (2021) bayesian mode test in r (from scratch) 030
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 03/08/2026new blog post: www.utkuturk.com/posts/bayesi... ! i want both tables and the coefficient whisker plots, but i dont like how many things just cut through the text. so, i wrote an automated script that makes nice tables with whisker plots in tikz. 050
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 23/04/2026And the reason I like this paper so much these days is this graph that I have been thinking about. Subjs who make agreement errors in Exp3 are faster to start speaking while in Exp4 they are slower. Funnily enough this is only the case with unaccusatives. 010
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 01/03/2026New preprint! 🚨 Does surface overlap affect dependency resolution? Using evidence from Turkish agreement, I show the answer is no. I argue that "phonological modulation" of memory is better explained by a more parsimonious mechanism: statistical controllerhood association. osf.io/preprints/ps... 030
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 25/02/2026www.utkuturk.com/posts/audio-... I made the mistake of recording my own voice for an experiment. Luckily, no one heard it because it was really easy (and more pleasant for participants to listen) to use text-to-speech models. with some tricks to make it more realistic (by varying some values) 000
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 22/12/2025Working with someone on an overleaf, and this is what you see, 🤌 010
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 07/11/2025this is what you get for sending your experiment to a language philosopher. he is so real for saying "All" to other langauges he spoke. 000
utku turk @utkuturk.com · 19/09/2025UMD apparently did a survey within Language Scientists in UMD and asked the question: What are you most likely to do with your stats/Who are you most likely to outsource your stats to? 😂 090

utku turk @utkuturk.com · 08/12/2023Did you know that my name (and most of names in Turkish) is a sentence? and depending on stress and existence of copula you can have weird meanings. Hope everyone else is having a great time. 050

utku turk @utkuturk.com · 09/10/2023I was cited in a wrong order (it is not caha and turk, it is turk and caha) and my name is wrong. I think this is high honors in academia if you are not white or european. I think I made it 150
