| Abstract: | Turkish has many vocabulary items from different origins. In the following research some of these vocabulary items which might be called synonyms from different origins were chosen and categorised as; Turkish-origin vocabulary items Arabic/Persian-origin vocabulary items Western-origin vocabulary items Hypotheses were: 1) Gender and age of the speaker affect the vocabulary choice in daily speech in Turkish. 2) There is no difference between male and female speakers’ knowledge of the three types of vocabulary items of different origins. 3) Turkish-origin vocabulary items are known better and chosen more frequently than Arabic/Persian-origin and Western-origin vocabulary items. To test the above hypotheses an experimental form was given to fifty male and fifty female subjects from five different age groups. Data were analysed by SPSS and Excel programs for PC(Windows). The results support three of the hypotheses. |
