There has been a continuous social change in
Turkey since the Reorganization Perio). With the Reorganization Edict, the
Ottoman turned its face to the West with many modernization movements. The
revolution staff which appeared in the continuation of the Young Turk movement
that tried to save the Ottoman Empire and with the power of historical
accumulation, established a new state. As in every revolution that started to
build a nation-state in the world, Turkish Revolution gave a special importance
to Language, History and Education while carrying out building nation-state. Nation states,
which are the product of political and bureaucratic interventions, has tended
to create ther own languages as a result of their institutionalization.
Especially as specifying the Turkish identity, the language phenomenon which
defines “us” and differentiates “other” has had great importance for Turkey. At
the same time, Language in providing nation integration contributed to the
social and political participation of individuals as citizens. In the 1930-1938
period, the Revolutionary staff produced policies for the field of language and
gave great importance. In the reflection
of these policies, the Turkish Language Association, the First, Second and
Third Turkish Language Congresses appear as important activities.
