Abstract:

The vocabulary of a language provides information about the lifestyles, traditions, customs, cultural values and attitudes towards life of the speakers of that language. Therefore, changes in the society and in the lives of the individuals who make up the society also affect the language. Therefore, the scarcity, abundance or frequency of use of concepts related to a concept in the language helps us to understand the place of these concepts in the social life of that society. Kinship is a concept that expresses the state of being close to each other through blood and marriage. Turkish society is a society based on kinship relations and has a structure that values kinship relations and adheres to cultural values. Therefore, in the social life of Turkish society, kinship terms have an important place in everyday language. A large number of kinship names are used in Standard Turkish and dialects of Turkish in Turkey. The Compilation Dictionary, which constitutes the dialects of Turkish dialects of Turkey, is the source of a rich vocabulary in terms of kinship names. Determining this vocabulary will contribute to the studies on the vocabulary of kinship in Turkish. In this study, the nouns related to kinship in the Compilation Dictionary are classified under three headings: words indicating kinship by blood, words indicating kinship by marriage and other words related to kinship.
