In this issue of the journal ((4)8 Autumn 2016), 22 articles, 6 of which are in
foreign language, are included. It is gratifying to see the various works from
different fields of social sciences: 7 articles represent literary field, 8 articles
represent sociology and history, 3 articles are from linguistics and 4 articles are
from education and fine arts.
In the field of linguistics, Özge Sönmez in her study A Semiotic Approach to
Space in the Story of Mountain Hotel of Guy De Maupassant aims to present
the function and place of “space” in the story “Mountain Hotel” written by the
famous French writer Guy Maupassant in 1886. In Towards a Social Theory of
Interpreting, Valery Paternotte suggests certain constructive themes by using
recent results from cognitive sciences, translation studies, and sociology of
communication to find building blocks for a broader theory. In A Textlinguistics
Analysis: Military Coup Declaration of 12 September 1980, Hasan Sefer aims
to reveal how text creators form declaration texts using the linguistics tools.
Accordingly, he analyses the text of the 12 September 1980 military coup
speech delivered by Kenan Evren based on the textlinguistics methods.
In education field, Gülşah Tıkız and Feryal Çubukçu’s co-authored work The
Act of Wizardry and the Development of a Wizard within a Constructivist
Perspective: Ursula Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea, intends to evaluate the
story of Ged, the protagonist, and his adventures as he is wandering through
Earthsea in A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) by Ursula Le Guin. They try to tackle
the theme of education, and demonstrate that there are various examples of the
constructivist theory, from both a cognitive and a social view of the theory.
