Abstract

This work is mostly done in the context of language planning. Language planning can be done for many different purposes. One of the goals is the standardization of languages. Language planning for the purpose of standardization consists of major activities such as corpus planning, status planning and acquisition planning. Language planning activities may be done by individuals or by institutions. The subject of this research is the Mesopotamia Foundation's language planning activities. This work consists of an introduction and three parts. In the first part, the theoretical background of language planning is given. In the second part, the background of Kurmanji Kurdish planning is given briefly, and in the third part, the work and activities of the Mesopotamia Foundation in the context of language planning are introduced and evaluated. In order to do this work, we benefited from literature and interviews were held with the founder, manager, volunteer and coordinator of the Mesopotamia Foundation.

Xebatên Weqfa Mezopotamyayê di Çarçoveya Plankirina Zimanî de

Abstract

Ziman amûreke gelekî giring e ji bo têkilîya di navbera mirovan de. Ev giringî jî pêdivî bi hin xebatên zimanî dibîne. Ev xebat bi piranî di çarçoveya plankirina zimanî de pêk tê. Plankirina zimanî dibe ku ji bo gelek armancên cuda pêk were û ev xebat jî bi xebatên madî, statu û wergirtinê pêk tê. Mijara vê lêkolînê xebatên Weqfa Mezopotamyayê yên plankirina zimanî ne. Ji bo ku em vê xebatê bikin me sûd ji xebatên lîteraturê wergirt û me hevdîtin bi rêveber û koordînatorê Weqfê re kir. Bi vê lêkolînê me hewl da ku xebatên weqfê di çarçoveya plankirina zimanî de bidin nasîn û binirxînin. Weqfa Mezopotamyayê di plankirina madî, statu û wergirtinê de û bi taybetî jî di xebatên madî de gelek xebat kirine. Van xebatan rê li ber plankririna kurdî vekirîye. Em bi vê lêkolînê gihiştin wê encamê ku Weqif bi awayekî rêkûpêk di dav karên plankirina zimanî de ye. Herçiqas birêkûpêk be jî, di hin biryaran de li gor xebatên berîya xwe tevnegerîyane û pisporên cuda yên ji xeynî zimannasan di komxebatan de cih negirtîye. Ev jî bûye sebeba ku plankirina statu û wergirtinê hinekî qels bimîne.

Abstract

Ev xebat bi piranî di çarçoveya plankirina zimanî de pêk tê. Plankirina zimanî dibe ku ji bo gelek armancên cuda pêk were. Yek ji wan armancan jî standardizasyona zimanan e. Plankirina zimanî ya ji bo armanca standardîzasyonê ji xebatên sereke yên mîna plankirina korpûs, plankirina statu û plankirina wergirtinê pêk tê. Xebatên plankirina zimanî dibe ku ji alîyê kesan yan jî ji alîyê sazîyan ve bên kirin. Mijara vê lêkolînê jî xebatên Weqfa Mezopotamyayê yên plankirina zimanî ne. Ev xebat ji destpêk û sê beşan pêk tê. Di beşa yekem de paşxaneya teorîk ya plansazîya zimanî hatîye dayîn. Di beşa duyem de paşxaneya plansazîya kurdîya kurmancî bi kurtasî hatîye dayîn û di beşa sêyem de jî kar û xebatên Weqfa Mezopotamyayê di çarçoveya plansazîya zimanî de hatîye nasandin û nirxandin. Ji bo ku em vê xebatê bikin me sûd ji xebatên lîteraturê wergirt û me hevdîtin bi avakar, dilxwaz rêveber û koordînatorê Weqfa Mezopotamyayê re kir.
