The Relation Between Turkish Language Reform and Translation in the Development of Modern Turkish Literature

Summary/Abstract: Wilhelm Von Humboldt’s views on the language as an indispensible part of culture and its constituent nation may be regarded as the background and inspiration for the Turkish language reform in 1928. Humboldt sees language in direct connection with the culture and nation it belongs to and hence, as a force of enrichment and improvement. Within this context , in this paper the relation between language reform and translation as a tool in the development of Turkish Literature will be discussed by making references to certain literary genres such as novel,poetry and drama.
