iaretlemesiyle

iaretlemesiyle is a neologistic term used in certain contemporary discussions of pragmatics and nonverbal communication to denote a phenomenon where gesture, facial expression, or other signs accompany an utterance and affect its pragmatic force. In this use, signaling elements are treated as an integral part of the utterance rather than as merely supplementary.

Etymology and status: The term is not part of standard Turkish lexicon. It appears in a limited body of theoretical writing as a constructed compound modeled on Turkish morphological patterns such as the instrumental suffix -lemesiyle, indicating "by means of doing X." In routine Turkish, the closest established expression would be işaretlemesiyle (by signaling) or, more generally, nonverbal signaling.

Usage and interpretation: In analyses described as iaretlemesiyle, the nonverbal signaling is examined as an intrinsic component of the utterance, capable of altering illocutionary force, stance, or affect. It is discussed across disciplines including linguistics, communication studies, anthropology, and narrative theory, with attention to how signs co-occur with speech to convey intention.

Examples: A speaker who says a firm yes while a deliberate nod accompanies the utterance might be described in some studies as employing iaretlemesiyle to reinforce commitment. Another case might involve facial cues that modify the perceived sincerity of a claim.
