Corpus Linguistics Studies: Intergenerational Solidarity Scale Development
Journal Title: Mersin Üniversitesi Dil ve Edebiyat Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Human interaction could be a focus of linguistics or sociology. When it is considered from a social perspective and the data is collected from language, the concepts reflected in language are examined. In such cases, semantic concept mapping plays an essential role. This paper illustrates how through use of corpus linguistic methods and abstraction of proposition-schemas, the semantic mapping of a conceptual phrase studied in research could be constructed. It demonstrates how the concept could be analyzed using the linguistic data and findings could be used to measure a construct, for example in writing scale items. The concept phrase studied in this paper is “intergenerational solidarity,” and the linguistic data have been collected from the Turkish National Corpus-Demo Version (TNC). It is necessary that the concept phrase in Turkish is semantically examined and that the findings are compared with the international literature for studies in which the concept phrase is at the center. Such an approach for such research design seems to be essential.
