NEW AND COMMON USAGE OF PARANTHESIS, SLASH AND APOSTROPHE

Summary/Abstract: Some punctuation marks have been used since the first written texts of Turkish. Punctuation marks have taken their place in the western sense in Turkish Language with Şinasi. There have been some changes in the names and usage places of punctuation marks in time. Besides, new usages have been added to the punctuation marks. The increase in the use of social media and the desire to attract attention in written expression have revealed new usages and applications in spelling and punctuation. One of these applications is the punctuation marks used to denote the other word in a word, which can be called “intertwined Word” due to its resemblance to bronze rhyme. “Y’aramızda kalsın.” As in the sentence, slashes and paranthesis can be used next to the apostrophe after the letter "y" to emphasize the meanings in our wound (yaramızda) and between us (aramızda). This new form of usage is considered as a contribution to the richness of expression in Turkish. The change and development of punctuation marks in Turkish are mentioned in the first part of the study. In the second part of the study, there are examples of new usages with source search method in different fields, and evaluations and suggestions in the conclusion part.
