This paper gives an evaluation of the Turkish Language Reform in a Language Planning framework, showing the sociocultural, political, and linguistic reasons leading to this movement, as well as describing the processes and the outcome of this major undertaking which changed the Turkish language and shaped its subsequent development. Special emphasis is given to the process of corpus cultivation carried out by the Turkish Language Association in their language purification efforts and the controversies surrounding the language reform are outlined. In light of the literature survey and the recent developments in the language, an evaluation of the reform movement is then attempted. Finally, "lexical modernization" is suggested as a new language planning goal in the Turkish context in order to continue with the development of the language and to fulfill the arising communication needs of the Turkish society.
