Abstract

Although language is a primary means of communication, the language use of individuals differs in many ways. The differences, in fact, can be related to the nature of language as well as to other variables such as educational background, age, power relations, social status, and individual characteristics. From a sociolinguistic point of view, one of the significant characteristics of an individual to be specifically taken into consideration in the analysis of language use is the sex variable. In this study the attitudes of Turkish Cypriot women towards the use of foreign words in Turkish Cypriot dialect will be evaluated.
