Offshoring Kavramının Türkçeleştirilerek Turizm Dil Terminolojisine Kazandırılması Üzerine Bir Araştırma
A Research on the Introducing of the Concept of Offshoring into Tourism Language Terminology by Translating it into Turkish

Summary/Abstract: Language, known as the way communities express themselves, is a perfect mirror that reflects all the changes that humanity has gone through. Today, the weakening of Turkishness awareness, the increase in the imitation of foreign words and the confusion of terms are the most important problems affecting 21st century Turkish and it seems that they will continue to increase if awareness is not created. In this study, which was conducted with the awareness that one of the important heritages of a nation is language, it was aimed to add the concept of offshoring, which does not have a Turkish, to the Turkish vocabulary through terminology. Based on this, a Turkishization method was created using the qualitative research method in the study, and the opinions of linguists were consulted in the phase of ensuring linguistic validity and tourism academics in the phase of conceptual validity. In addition to the content of the study, the term suggestions developed for its Turkishization were made after the interviews held with the experts of the Turkish Language Association (TDK) in Ankara, based on the rules of the language, and various logic systems suitable for the concept were tried to be developed. As a result of the expert opinions, the concept of ‘’Foreign Production Supply’’ was deemed appropriate in Turkish for the concept of offshoring, which is used in the literature in English, and in addition, the concept was tried to be developed with various Turkish suggestions. In today's world where protecting the Turkish language is becoming increasingly important, it is thought that this unprecedented study will help to popularize the Turkish translation of foreign concepts, which are quite common in the field of tourism, and that it will also help to expand the TDK dictionary by adopting Turkish translation for the following processes.
