MAKEDONYA TÜRKLERİNİN YAZI DİLİNDE SÖZCÜK DÜZEYİNDE YAPILAN DİL YANLIŞLARI.

Written language is used for unity and communication ease. The written language must be the same everywhere as it has a feature which unites and eliminates the differences in dialects. However, it is possible to observe some deviations in the written language of the societies that are bilingual or multilingual as they reflect the language variations in both spoken and written forms of the language. This study aims to study the written language of the Macedonian Turks who live in a multilingual setting as it is different from the written from of Modern Turkish. It also aims at highlighting the importance of language interaction as a factor in making lexical errors. The present study which has three parts contains sample sentences with semantically ill-formed, misspelled and misused words in the written language of the Macedonian Turks together with the corrected forms. We believe that we can raise awareness in noticing language errors, understanding the reasons behind, and correcting these errors in the written language as it is highly important for the individual, society and language. By doing so, we can prevent language deterioration and alienation in these settings, and we can contribute to the correct usage of the language and improve language awareness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
