SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Social relations among people are mirrored in the language they use with each other. From its grammatical structures to lexical varieties, conventions of conversation contain social norms which affect how language is produced and perceived. Address terms are one linguistic feature that is heavily associated with social relations among people as these norms reflect the cultural and social norms of a given language. Among many possibilities, speakers need to consider a range of governing factors in order to decide on appropriate terms to use in a given language. This study analyzes how some of these factors; namely age, gender, educational background, and region affect the use of various categories of address terms such as kinship, occupational and endearment terms in Turkish by reference to their occurrence as well as the contexts in which they are used. Based on the results, gender was the most effective determining factor affecting the use and the contexts of five of the given six terms of address while education and region played an important role in the occurrences of only one term; age was not a strong factor despite creating some variance among different age groups. The most likely contexts in which the given address terms occur are not associated by age, education, and region. However, gender does have a role in which contexts terms of endearment might appear in. The results of this study could have important applications in second language teaching especially in development of sociolinguistic competence.
