Chapulling
Chapulling ( tr, Çapuling, ) is a neologism originating in the Gezi Park protests, coined from Prime Minister Erdoğan's use of the term (roughly translated to "marauders")Luke Harding, ''The Guardian'', 10 June 2013Turkish protesters embrace Erdoğan insult and start 'capuling' craze/ref> to describe the protesters. ''Çapulcu'' was rapidly reappropriated by the protesters, both in its original form and as the anglicized ''chapuller'' and additionally verbified ''chapulling'', given the meaning of "fighting for your rights". AFP, ''The Express Tribune'', 8 June 2013'Chapulling': Turkish protesters spread the edgy word/ref> ''Chapulling'' has been used in Turkish both in its anglicized form and in the hybrid word form ''çapuling''.

Gezi Park Protests
A wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Turkey began on 28 May 2013, initially to contest the urban development plan for Istanbul's Taksim Gezi Park. The protests were sparked by outrage at the violent eviction of a sit-in at the park protesting the plan. Subsequently, supporting protests and strikes took place across Turkey, protesting against a wide range of concerns at the core of which were issues of freedom of the press, of expression and of assembly, as well as the alleged political Islamist government's erosion of Turkey's secularism. With no centralised leadership beyond the small assembly that organised the original environmental protest, the protests have been compared to the Occupy movement and the May 1968 events. Social media played a key part in the protests, not least because much of the Turkish media downplayed the protests, particularly in the early stages. Three and a half million people (out of Turkey's population of 80 million) are estimated to have ta ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Language Regulator
This is a list of bodies that consider themselves to be authorities on standard languages, often called language academies. Language academies are motivated by, or closely associated with, linguistic purism and prestige, and typically publish prescriptive dictionaries,Thomas, George (1991''Linguistic purism''p.108, quotation: which purport to officiate and prescribe the meaning of words and pronunciations. A language regulator may also have a more descriptive approach, however, while maintaining and promoting (but not imposing) a standard spelling. Many language academies are private institutions, although some are governmental bodies in different states, or enjoy some form of government-sanctioned status in one or more countries. There may also be multiple language academies attempting to regulate and codify the same language, sometimes based in different countries and sometimes influenced by political factors. Many world languages have one or more language academies or offi ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
