Bu çalışmada sözcüksel olmayan geribildirimlerin Sözlü Türkçe Derlemi verisindeki işlevleri ve veride farklı cinsiyet ve yaş birleşimlerinden doğal olarak oluşan gruplarda geribildirimlerin kullanımındaki farklılıklar incelenmektedir. Veri incelemesinde döngüsel bir yöntem kullanılarak sözcüksel olmayan 2231 geribildirim için iki temel işlev ve sekizi ilk kez bu çalışmada tanımlanan 16 alt işlev belirlenmiştir. Bulgular kadınlar ve genç konuşmacıların daha fazla olduğu gruplarda geribildirimlerin temel işlevlerinin ‘onaylamak’ olduğunu, erkekler ile orta yaşlı ve ileri yaşlı konuşmacıların daha fazla olduğu gruplarda ise geribildirimlerin temel olarak ‘konuyu devam ettirmek’ için kullanıldığını ortaya koymaktadır. Belirtilen istatiksel eğilimlere rağmen araştırma sonuçları konuşmacıların daha fazla ortak yanları bulunduğunda ve konuşulan konuyla daha ilgili olduklarında, cinsiyet ve yaş değişkenlerinden bağımsız olarak, iş birliği içinde anlam inşa etmek için çok işlevli sözcüksel olmayan geri bildirimleri sıklıkla kullandıklarını göstermektedir.

This paper analyzes the functions of non-lexical backchannels in the Spoken Turkish Corpus and the differences in their use in naturally formed combinatory groups of gender and age (young-middle aged-elderly). Adopting a cyclic approach in the analysis of the 2231 non-lexical backchannels from the study corpus, two main and 16 sub-functions, eight of which are unique to this study and exhibit original dimensions have been identified. Results reveal that groups with female speakers and young speakers tend to use backchannels more for ‘approving the other speaker’, whereas groups with male speakers, middle-aged and elderly speakers tend to use backchannels more for ‘continuation of the conversation’. Despite these statistical tendencies, the findings suggest that when people have more in common and more interest in the given conversational topic, they use multifunctional non-lexical backchannels to construct meaning more cooperatively, regardless of gender and age-related variables.
