TI  - Etymological Analysis of Vakit and Cumhuriyet Newspapers Published between 1932 and 1942
AB  - Founded by the Turkish government in 1932, the Turkish Language Association had the aim of heading linguistic research concerning the Turkish language and its vocabulary. This research often led to campaigns –initiated by the Turkish Language Association itself– aimed at encouraging journalists, writers, and teachers to replace words of Arabic or Persian etymology with Turkish equivalents. The newspapers of the time represented one of the means through which the authorities promoted the language reform. In this regard, Cumhuriyet and Vakit represented two of the most popular newspapers of the era. Through an etymological analysis of the words in news published in Cumhuriyet and Vakit between 1932 and 1942, the aim of this article is to evaluate the results of the Turkish language reform in terms of the purification of the Turkish vocabulary during the first ten years of activity of the Turkish Language Association. Moreover, this study aims to show that in the texts examined the percentages of words originating from Arabic, Persian and Turkish remained constant throughout the period considered.
