Aile İçi Şiddetin Ortak Diline Doğru

Abstract

Aile içi şiddet, çoğunlukla erkekler tarafından aile veya yakın ilişkiler bağlamında kadınlara karşı gerçekleştirilen bir dizi şiddet içeren, zorlayıcı ve kontrol edici davranışı ifade eder ve yıkıcı etkileri olan köklü bir toplumsal sorundur. Aile içi şiddete ilişkin ortak bir anlayışın eksikliği, küresel dünyada bu toplumsal sorunu önlemenin önünde bir engeldir. Bu nedenle, aile içi şiddet olarak anlaşılan şeyin çerçevesini çizmek için net bir aile içi şiddet terminolojisi esastır. Dilin aile içi şiddete ilişkin ortak bir anlayış oluşturmanın merkezi bir odağı olduğu gerçeğine dayanarak, mevcut gövde tabanlı çalışma uluslararası haberlerde aile içi şiddetin ortak sözcüklerini ve bunların dizimlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Tanımlama süreci için frekans tabanlı ve dizim penceresi yaklaşımları kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar, yerler, tür ve sosyal ve yasal yönler hakkında toplamda 45 ortak aile içi şiddet sözcüğü bulunmuştur ve bu da paylaşılan bir dilin özelliklerinden birini doğrulamıştır. Verilerde bu sözcüklerin sınırlı çeşitlilikte ortak dizimleri gözlemlenmiştir. Konunun cinsiyet, kültür ve sektör açısından dilsel farklılıklarına odaklanan ileri çalışmalarla, aile içi şiddetin dinamiklerine ilişkin yeni anlayışlar ortaya çıkarılabilir.

Toward a Shared Language of Domestic Violence

Abstract

Domestic violence referring to a range of violent, coercive, and controlling behaviors perpetrated mostly by men against women in the context of family or intimate relationships is a deep-rooted social problem with devastating impacts. A lack of shared understanding of domestic violence is a barrier to preventing this social problem in the global world. Thus, a clear terminology of domestic violence is essential to frame what is understood as domestic violence. Based on the fact that language is a central focus of establishing a shared understanding of domestic violence, the present corpus-based study intends to identify the common words of domestic violence and their collocations in the international news. Frequency-based and collocation window approaches were used for the identification process. In total, 45 common words of domestic violence about participants, locations, type, and social and legal aspects were found, which confirmed one of the properties of a shared language. A limited variety of common collocations of these words were observed in the data. New understandings of the dynamics of domestic violence may be revealed through further studies concentrating on linguistic variations of the issue in relation to gender, culture, and sector.
