Abstract:

There are a great number of languages in the world which makes it essential for languages to be categorized into groups depending on their language families. It is normal for languages to bear some linguistic differences. These differences may occur in aspects like morphology and syntax. Russian belongs to the Slavic group of the Indo-European languages. Turkish belongs to the Altaic family group. In this study Turkish grammar and English grammar were investigated in general terms. A semi-structured interview was held with a native speaker of Russian who is also a second language learner of Turkish. The interviewer was asked about the sexist words, idioms and proverbs in her language and similarities and differences between the findings were determined.
