What competing theory? What do you mean by "backyard"?
I found this article via Google Scholar: I wanted to check if someone cited the "symbol roles revisited" paper, as I was interested in their approach. Two citations came up: the "Gibberish after all?" paper by Gaskell and Bowern and this opus by Cheshire. Which says that Arteoloji Dergisi, while perhaps lacking in peer-review quality, does at least index their bibliographies correctly.
(I wonder if Cheshire's paper has anything else hidden in the reference list, something interesting and not yet discussed here)
EDIT: ah, probably you meant the attempt to read VM as Turkish text. Yes, that's an amusing coincidence.
