Abstract

İnsanlar tarafından çeşitli amaçlarla kullanılan dil, insanoğlunun önemli bir özelliğidir. Benzer şekilde, insanlar dili hayatlarının merkezine alarak onu çeşitli amaçlar için kullanırlar. Peki, insanların hayatlarının her alanında kullanmayı bırakamadıkları dil ne anlama gelir? Bu çalışmada dil, dilin işlevleri ve yapısı incelenmiş ve nitel doküman analizi ile netleştirilmiştir. Benzer şekilde, söz konusu konuya ışık tutmak için hâlihazırda var olan ilgili kaynak, belge ve kayıtların sorgulanmasıyla döküman analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Dili tam olarak açıklamak için yeterli bir tanımın olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Dil düşüncelerin sesidir. Dilin çok farklı özellik ve işlevleri vardır ve dil tamamen karmaşık bir sistemdir.

Abstract

Used for various purposes, language is a significant characteristic of human beings. In a similar vein, having it in the center of their life, people use the language for various objectives. But what is the language that people cannot stop using in every aspect of their life? In this study, language, its functions, and structure were investigated and clarified by means of qualitative document analysis. In other words, the document analysis technique was employed through inquiring the already existing sources, documents, and records in order to bring light to the mentioned issue. It was found out that no definition has been sufficient to fully describe language. Language is the voice of thoughts. It has many different features and functions, and it is totally a complex system.
