Magazines are not only a means of communication for discussing social, political, and economic issues but also literary products with a cultural value that bring together the writer-reader and work triad. In Turkish literature, magazines have played a significant role in the development of new thought and art movements, as well as the introduction of young artists. In addition, because they contain articles from many fields such as sociology, natural sciences, art, history, and philosophy, magazines are also important for informing and raising awareness in society. On July 12, 1932, the idea of removing words from foreign languages and using only pure Turkish words was reintroduced with the 1960 Constitution, following the Language Revolution that took place under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Therefore, in the 1960s, language-related articles had a significant place on the pages of culture and art magazines. The Türkçe magazine holds a privileged place among the magazines of this period as it focuses on these debates. The Türkçe magazine, which published 43 issues from January 1960 to July 1964, stands out in language debates with its issues that prioritize the writings of authors who support the Language Revolution. This study will examine the Türkçe magazine, which monitored the pulse of Turkish literature in the 1960s and opened its pages to both renowned authors and young artists, and evaluate the language debates that developed around the Language Revolution through the Türkçe magazine.
