Use of Conjunctions in Columns by Güneri Civaoğlu: A Text-Linguistics Analysis

Abstract

Text-linguistics investigates whether words that appear together form a text or not and today there are some generally accepted norms called textuality criteria. Through these, mostly examples from the literary genre are examined but it is observed that other types of texts which are more casual and in-life are partially neglected. Newspaper columns with hundreds of thousands of readers every day are also worth being studied in text-linguistics. In this study, columns by Güneri Civaoğlu were examined in terms of conjunctions. In the research, conducted in the form of content analysis, on the one hand, it was tried to understand which types of conjunctions were employed more in the related columns, and on the other hand what the author intended with them. Civaoğlu preferred additive conjunctions the most in his columns. It was generally aimed to establish a link between the successive elements and to help each of these elements to support each other and thus to present their ideas more strongly.  Next to addition, adversative conjunctions were preferred and the author aimed to increase the readers’ attention and the reception of the text by using a combination of the opposite elements with each other. Temporal and causal conjunctions were used very rarely compared to the other two types. It was also revealed that the author frequently placed additional emphasis on conjunctions with a unique style by using them between two hyphens or at the beginning of a separate paragraph alone.
