Computer-assisted Learning of Turkish Morphology Draft 1.0; November 8; for Comments

We describe the design objectives, features, and the computational language model of a computer-mediated tool designed for learners of Turkish morphology. The underlying system is a generative grammar, more speciically, a computational word grammar that makes use of feature structures to deliver composition and decomposition of morphemes at the syntax-lexicon interface via two-level morphology. The potential applicability of the Web-based tool in learning Turkish as a foreign language, and the possibility of its use in a linguistics class are discussed. The results indicate that the tool can be eeciently used as an add-on to the morphosyntax laboratory of an introductory linguistics course.
