This book intends to introduce recent studies on Turkish linguistics to a wide scientific readership of graduate students and scholars maximizing interdisciplinary contributions to the literature.

Since linguistics is an interdisciplinary field, students and scholars from various disciplines like interactional sociolinguistics, translation studies, education, foreign language teaching, linguistic anthropology, cultural studies, psychology might also be interested in the content. This project is mainly research based, therefore suitable as a source book rather than a course book; however, it offers a better potential for insertion into interdisciplinary graduate courses like "readings in linguistics" or seminar modules in various social sciences. The book is structured on the basis of the diversity in 21st-century linguistics, taking into consideration large thematic blocks including micro and macro approaches to linguistics, focusing on Turkish.

For the first time in English comes a remarkable literary discovery. In 1928, Turkish author Ali R¿za Seyfiölu pirated Bram Stoker's Dracula, completely rewriting it with new material, patriotic overtones, and Islam. A rare example of a "bootleg" novel, it's also the first adaptation to plainly identify Dracula as the historical warlord Vlad the Impaler.In Seyfiölu's story, when a modern Istanbul is threatened by the invasion of an ancient vampire, three veterans of the Turkish War of Independence are thrust into a conflict with their nation's hereditary enemy. Seyfiölu boldly reworks Stoker's classic tale, retelling it from the unique perspective of a people once routed by the real-life Dracula.Dracula in Istanbul: The Unauthorized Version of the Gothic Classic presents the first ever translation into English of Seyfiölu's novel, Kaz¿kl¿ Voyvoda. With a foreword by Anno Dracula author Kim Newman, an introduction by Turkish translation scholar ¿ehnaz Tahir Gürçälar, an afterword on the 1953 movie adaptation Drakula ¿stanbul'da by film scholar Iain Robert Smith, and several rare photos from the film, Dracula in Istanbul is a rare combination of literary artifact and genuine entertainment. From movie and vampire buffs to literature scholars, there's enough here to delight all the children of the night.

Project-Based Foreign Language Learning is underlain by the principle that learners can learn a language by acquiring knowledge about a specific content through interactive and investigative tasks extending beyond the classroom. This learner focused, process and product based, experiential language learning model synthesizes the principles of Content and Task Based Language Learning and is advocated as a promising means for promoting meaningful and purposeful language use. However, there are few works on the theory of project work in foreign language education and even fewer studies on students¿ and teachers¿ perceptions of it. This book not only presents an extensive literature survey on project work in foreign language instruction but also reveals the findings of one of these few studies which investigated the students¿ and teachers¿ assessments about a sample project work experience at a Turkish university. By reporting the learning gains and problems of this model along with the suggestions and pedagogical implications the researcher hopes to set the groundwork for more efficient and more spirited project-governed practices in all foreign language learning contexts worldwide.
