Özet:

The basic vocabulary presence created by a society to find responses and to communicate with entities and concepts contains the codes of that society. These codes, which are the products of life styles and thinking structures of societies, reveal the perspectives of the people who make up the society to events and situations. Historical processes that take shape in different times and places are effective on the interpretation styles of societies, common feelings and thoughts, and value judgments. Words, proverbs, idioms, and stereotypes that make up the language contain important documents showing how the community's perception of life has changed over time, or what and how they are positioned in their time. In order to see how a society defines itself and others, and how the official ideology affects language, one has to look at its vocabulary. Because every language reflects the character of the society in which it exists, revealing how people make sense of the world. Every individual who speaks the language reveals the cultural atmosphere of the language, the things they see first. The language, which changes and develops through the transmission from generation to generation, is influenced by the thought patterns of the official ideology while forming a discourse that includes the beliefs of the society and the world of concepts. How these ideologies are formed, how they are transmitted to generations, and what they are affected and changed over time, manifests itself in language and discourse, which are the products of social interaction. In this study, word assets about Gypsies bearing the traces of the mentality of Turkish society will be dwelled on, and the purpose of adding the word Gypsy to the names of animals, plants, colors, clothing and food will be evaluated by discourse analysis method based on social, political and cultural context.
