kanunlarla

Kanunlarla is a Turkish term that functions as the instrumental plural form of kanun (law). Literally meaning “with laws” or “by laws,” it is used to express the means, instruments, or regulatory framework provided by legislation. In legal and political discourse, kanunlarla describes how actions, structures, or rights are created, governed, or protected through law.

Morphology and formation: The base noun is kanunlar (laws). To form the instrumental plural, Turkish adds the suffix -la (or -le after vowel harmony) to the plural, yielding kanunlarla. This suffix marks means or instrument and can introduce an adverbial or prepositional phrase within a sentence.

Usage: Kanunlarla appears in sentences that discuss regulation, governance, or rights established by legislation. It often accompanies verbs such as düzenlemek, yönetmek, korumak, güvence altına almak, or uygulamak. Examples include: “Bu politikalar kanunlarla güvence altına alınmıştır,” meaning “These policies are secured by law,” or “Kanunlarla düzenlenen trafik kuralları, şehir güvenliğini artırır,” meaning “Traffic rules organized by law improve city safety.”

Notes: Kanunlarla is not a separate noun but a grammatical form derived from kanunlar. It is typically used to emphasize that actions or conditions are achieved through or protected by the legal framework. The singular form kanunla means “with the law,” used when referring to a single law as the instrument.
