- Abstract
This study was concerned with the effect of loanwords penetrating into Turkish as a result of social, political, economic and cultural interaction. The study aimed to find out whether many words from foreign languages were transferred into Turkish, and if so, what sorts of words, that is whether words relating to technology and science or to other areas such as economy, policy, daily activities, entered into the language. The study also investigated the negative effects of borrowings on the social and cultural aspects of the language.
