Abstract
Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences has reached its 12th issue this year with the contributions of the colleagues who shared their valuable studies with us, the reviewers who devoted their valuable time and energy to evaluating and commenting on the papers, and the colleagues and friends at Çankaya University who put their efforts to realize this project. The issue covers a wide variety of interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of language and translation studies, linguistics, foreign language education, translator education, literary studies and translation, comparative literature, and theory and cultural studies that fall within the scope of the Journal. We, as the editorial board, would like to thank wholeheartedly all the authors for their scholarly contributions and the team of referees for their reviews. We owe special thanks to Dr Onorina Botezat for her tremendous work as the guest editor for this volume. We also like to thank the Presidency of Çankaya University and the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for their continuous support. Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal which publishes national and international works in humanities and social sciences. Sharing and expanding the new perspectives in humanities and social sciences is of primary focus for the Journal, which aims to reach wider audience through its fully open-access policy. We aim to facilitate a more expanded and participatory academic discussion on the theoretical and/or applied scholarly work and to inform scholars and public about recent developments in the fields that fall within the scope of the Journal.
