terimiyle

Terimiyle is a term used in Turkish discourse to describe a rhetorical and linguistic practice in which a newly coined label becomes the central interpretive frame for a topic. The term highlights how a single label can direct attention, shape definitions, and organize subsequent argumentation.

The word itself is a compound of terim, meaning term, and ile, meaning with, and it has gained traction mainly in online media, blogs, and informal academic writing in the 21st century. Terimiyle is not a formal category in traditional linguistics but is discussed as a phenomenon in studies of terminology and framing in Turkish.

When used, it signals that the following discussion should be interpreted through the lens of the specific term, rather than through a neutral description of phenomena. For example, an author might write, "Terimiyle bu politika, adalet için bir çerçeve sunuyor," to indicate that the policy is being evaluated within a defined label rather than on its direct effects alone.

Critics argue that terimiyle framing can simplify complex issues or politicize terminology, while proponents see it as a useful tool for clarity and social analysis. The concept is frequently analyzed in digital rhetoric and debates about naming, classification, and language policy.
