Information on data and consultants
The descriptions in this chapter are partially based on the references below and partially on research done by the author during the development of this chapter. Please see the data and consultant information in the references.
A certain portion of the descriptions in Section [1.1] and the majority of descriptions in Sections [1.2], [1.3], and [1.4] are based on original research by the author. The data that contributed to this research have been provided by two near-native fluent signers. The analyses are based on 899 signs from Boğaziçi University TİD Resource Website (cmpe.boun.edu.tr/tid). The signs in the website were revised by a near-native fluent signer who was born and raised in Istanbul.
Additionally, the linguistic data in images and video clips that were produced or reproduced for this chapter were provided by a near-native fluent signing consultant who was born and raised in Istanbul.
