Abstract:

Language is the mirror of society; and syntax is the sentence of meaningful images reflecting from this mirror. By examining the form and scope of language, it is possible to determine a community’ssocial, political and cultural development and change template. Scanning daily newspapers of the lastfew years and examiningthe new word groups entered our family and business environmentsthrough television help usevaluate the improvement process of language and changing direction of society. We totally collected two hundred remarkable word groups for this study. We tried to collect the word groups that affect Turkish society’s socio-cultural structure with the aim of determiningthe effect of language onsociety. We categorizedthese word groupsaccording to their form and content. We tried to identify what the structure types and the included messages mean for linguistics andwhat thisphraseology brings alongin terms of the priorities of the society. Phrases are the fundamentals of the Turkish language in Turkey. They carry the traces of both theTurkish language history and the cultural development and change of Turkish society. In this study, we examined 200 recent popular phrases. Most of them were identified to be a political phrase or a compound noun. When the example phrases are set in type in order of frequency of use by their first letter, ‘K’ is in the first line with 21 (10,5?) times of its amount of use. It is sequentiallyfollowed by the other lettersaccording to their amount of uses as D:19, S:17, A:16, T:16, B:15, Y:11, M:11, P:10, İ:9, G:7, E:6, Ç:6, H:6, I:3, O:3, U:3, C:3, F:3, R:3, V:3, Ö:1, Ü:1, Ş:1, W:1, Z:1.Four of the word groups begin with numbers. It was observed that the frequently used vocals and consonantsin the beginning of Turkishwords are also frequently used in these phrases. Most of these phrases (84 %) were made up with two words, 12.5 % with three words, and only four (2 %) of these phrases were made up of four words. There were no phrases made up with five or six words. This can be attributed to the tendency towards achieving more with less in accordance with the economy principle of language. The first word was the “root” in 52 % of the phrases that were examined, and the others had no complex stems; 3.5 % of them were acronyms. This is likely a consequence of the fact that most of the Turkish speakers use simple expressions and avoid complex and indirect ones. The results of the study have demonstrated that the compound nouns are used effectively in modern Turkish, and that two-word compound nouns are preferred generally. Finally, there is a trend towards meaning more with fewer words. Result: The group of the words starting with a vowel comprises the 21 ? of the overalltwo hundred word groups we analyzed, 77% of the words start with a consonant and 2 % with a number. 1,5 ? of the word groups are compound words written asa singleword. The groups that are composed oftwo words constitute 84 ?; the groupsthat are made up of a number and a word,of a number and two words, and of one abbreviation and two wordseachconstitute1? of the overall groups. The groups made up with an abbreviation and awordconstitute 2 ? of the total. Three-word phrases are 12,5 ? of total, the four-word ones constitute 2? of it. There is no word group having five or more words. When we analyzed the word groups according to the type of their first words, we observed the proportion of uses as: Nouns 67?, adjectives 33?, adverbs 0,5? . However, we realized that pronouns, connectives, preposition and verbs are not used at all. According to the structure of their first word, the word groups are formed from radix (52?), trunk (44,5 ?) and abbreviation (3,5?). According to the type of word groups, idioms are 50?, noun phrases are 70,5?, adjective clauses are 25?. In addition, gerunds are 2?, orientation groups are 1,5?, reiterative 1?, vehicle groups are 0,5?. No other word groups are available. Most of the meaning and con
