The research presented in this dissertation investigates the effects of word order, accusative case-marking, thematic reversibility, and prosodic informativity on sentence comprehension in Turkish. We investigate how the presence or absence of case marking, default word order, and thematically reversible arguments impact comprehension. Turkish provides a unique linguistic framework for this research due to its grammatical rules and word order/case-marking properties, enabling the creation of garden-path sentences for experimental evaluation. While previous psycholinguistic studies on Turkish have examined some of these variables, none have systematically investigated them simultaneously and with an audio task as we have done in ours. Experiments 1 and 2 suggest that even though certain sentence types like non-casemarked OVS sentences may be grammatical, scrambled word order and lack of accusative case-marking causes difficulty in comprehension. Sentences with the default word order were found to be easier to comprehend. Case-marking aided comprehension but did not have as significant an effect as anticipated. Thematic reversibility was identified as a crucial factor, with thematically irreversible arguments rendering non-casemarked OVS non-garden path sentences and significantly reducing processing difficulty. Our results also indicate that the additive benefit of cues diminishes in the presence of stronger cues, such as thematic reversibility overshadowing case-marking and word order. Experiments 3 and 4 demonstrated that prosodic information alone allows for high accuracy in judging word order, yet becomes less significant in the presence of stronger linguistic cues such as thematic reversibility, word order, or case-marking. Corpus analyses revealed that frequency-based models can predict sentence accuracy to a certain extent, though they fall short for garden-path sentences. These findings support a model of cue evaluation with diminishing returns, where the strongest cues dominate, and earlier cues are more informative than later cues. Future research would benefit from exploring additional factors like pragmatic context to understand their interaction with the word order, case-marking, thematic reversibility, and prosody.
