ADALET VE KALKINMA PARTİSİ SİYASETİNİN REEL POLİTİĞİ VE SİYASAL SÖYLEM DİLİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ: 2009-2016

Year 2024, Volume: 11 Issue: 4, 202 - 213, 30.10.2024

Abstract

Liberal-muhafazakâr değerler çizgisinde ilerleyen Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’nin siyasal söylem dilindeki dönüşümün araştırıldığı bu çalışmada, 2009-2016 yılları arasındaki reel politik gelişmelere odaklanılmıştır. 2009 yılı sonrasında dönüşmeye başlayan liberal-muhafazakâr dilin, milliyetçi yöne doğru evrildiği ve daha buyurgan bir hal aldığı görülmektedir. 2010 yılı, vesayetle mücadele ve hukuki düzenlemeler noktasında önemli bir dönüm noktasıdır. Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, insan hakları, demokrasi, kadın, yolsuzlukla mücadele ve kamu alanında önemli reformların altına imza atarken, askeri ve hukuk alanlarında düzenleme ve politikalarına hız kesmeden devam etmiştir. Politik dile yansıyan emir kipleri, gelecek zamanı içeren ‘’yapacağız-olacağız’’ gibi sözcüklerle harmanlanınca ortaya hem kucaklayıcı hem buyurgan bir hitap şekli çıkmıştır. Ancak, bu söylem tarzıyla inşa edilen politik dil, parti lideri Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın karizmatik liderliği ile birleşince seçmeni tesir altına almadaki önemli bir strateji haline gelmiştir. Bu çerçevede çalışmanın amacı, 2009-2016 yılları arasındaki reel politik gelişmelerin siyasal söylem dili üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasıdır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, Siyasal Söylem, Reel Politik

THE REAL POLITICS OF JUSTICE AND DEVELOPMENT PARTY POLITICS AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE LANGUAGE OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE: 2009-2016

Year 2024, Volume: 11 Issue: 4, 202 - 213, 30.10.2024

Abstract

This study, which analyses the transformation in the political discourse of the Justice and Development Party, which proceeds along the line of liberal-conservative values, focuses on the real political developments between 2009 and 2016. It is witnessed that the liberal-conservative discourse, which started to transform after 2009, evolved towards a nationalist direction and became more imperious. 2010 is an important milestone in the fight against tutelage and legal regulations. While the Justice and Development Party has undertaken important reforms in the fields of human rights, democracy, women's rights, fight against corruption and public sector, it has unabatedly continued its regulations and policies in the fields of military and law. When the imperative tenses reflected in political discourse are blended with words such as “we will” and “we will be” in the future tense, an embracing and commanding style of expression has emerged. However, the political language constructed with this style of discourse, combined with the charismatic leadership of the party leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has become an important strategy in influencing voters. In this framework, the aim of this study is to analyse the impact of the real political developments between 2009 and 2016 on the language of political discourse.
Key Words: Justice and Development Party, Political Discourse, Real Politics
