Burcu Kaya serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Turkish Language and Social Sciences Education at Yeditepe University's Faculty of Education since 2019, where she also held the position of Education Coordinator in 2021. Her academic profile demonstrates specialized expertise in Turkish linguistic heritage through teaching and research activities.
Her educational credentials include:
- PhD in Old Turkish Language from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University (2017-2024)
- Master's in Old Turkish Language with thesis on Kitab-ı Ahkamü’xxl Akayid (2012-2015)
- Bachelor's in Turkish Language and Literature from Ankara University (2003-2007)
Dr. Kaya's research centers on diachronic analysis of Turkish, particularly examining lexical evolution in medieval texts. Her work bridges etymology, historical linguistics, and translation studies, as evidenced by her critical edition of Orkhon Inscriptions and conference presentations on semantic fields like the concept of 'Demir' (iron). She investigates how derivational morphology facilitates cultural transmission in religious texts such as Ravżatü’l-Vāʿiẓìn.
Her 2023 journal article exemplifies her methodological approach to analyzing Turkish linguistic adaptation within Islamicate literary traditions. This research falls under broader disciplines of Turkic philology and historical sociolinguistics, revealing patterns in lexical borrowing and morphological nativization.
Dr. Kaya has taught undergraduate courses including Turkish Language (12-15 hours/semester) and Turkish for Foreigners (4 hours/semester) since 2017.
