By correlating the speech act to its implementation within the boundaries of the university
environment, this particular study orientates towards the interlinguistic phenotypes produced by
students of the Turkish language during the learning process on the course of the curriculum of the
Department of Turkish Studies & Modern Asian Studies. In a contemporary, evolving research
program, launched on 2013, interlanguage issues of the students integrated into a system of
multivariate analysis are being examined. The progress of the intaking capability on morphological
and syntactical aspects is investigated, as well as the assimilation levels of the conditions leading to a
successful pragmatic interaction between the inputting of the teaching process and the outputting of
the language product, in generally. Our aim, within this paper, is to give some raw data received by
preliminary reports regarding in an unusual reading comprehension test, the socio-linguistic
dimensions and the pragmatic correlations on the B2-C1 learning levels.
