Abstract
Language is the element that provides communication between people basically. With the developing of the conversation between people, variations are observed in the language. The main effective factors in the increase of this interaction are religion, trade, education and wars. For these and similar reasons, people who met each other exchanged words. Although it is desired to make language simplification studies today, the use of familiar and stereotyped words could not be stopped. Turkey has been a home to many civilizations due to its geographical location. Due to this cosmopolitan historical structure, the place of foreign words in Turkish vocabulary is undeniable. There are transitions to Turkish from Arabic, as well as from French and Persian. With Islam, there has been an interaction between Arabic and Turkish languages and word transitions have been experienced. The aim of the study is to classify and examine similar words related to human characteristics that have been transferred from Arabic to Turkish. In line with the purpose, word transitions between the two languages were investigated and the basis for the study was prepared. In addition, the transition between words was structurally attached to the grammar rules and caused sound events. In the study, the sound events in question are given in detail in tabular form. The study was conducted with a holistic approach and descriptive method. As a result of the study, 139 words with human characteristics, which were transferred from Arabic to Turkish, were determined. These words are classified into 16 different categories. During the transition, 31 words have undergone sound changes. 108 words are exactly the same. The study is unique at the point of classification of human words and determination of structural changes, and it is a source for later researchers. Key words: Arabic, Turkish, language, foreign word, interaction
