Abstract (2. Language): 
In the literature, condolence messages in the context of natural death were scrutinised from cultural and crosscultural aspects. However, diplomatic condolence messages were not investigated, with one exception, to the best knowledge of the author. The present study is the first of its kind and its focus is on the calques detected in the Turkish translations of condolence messages following a terrorist attack in light of translation studies. To this end, with purposive sampling, the internet was searched for authentic condolence messages from diplomatic sources, published with direct quotations, after the terrorist attack to a famous night club, Reina, in Istanbul, Turkey, on the New Year’s Eve, 2017. By taking a functionalist approach, the following research questions were analyzed: i. What is the typical macrostructure and register followed in the diplomatic messages of condolence after a terrorist attack in English and Turkish?, ii. What are the unconventional uses in register, if any, in the media translation in the case of terror attack to Reina, Turkey during the new year celebrations of 2017? For the first question, this study drew on condolence messages given as template in Tulun (1996), whereas for the second one, on Silva-Corvalán’s (1994) categorization modified by the author. The study by identifying the established macrostructure and register in such messages in both languages first, indicates the unconventional linguistic uses, being calques in diplomatic register in Turkish media translations of condolence messages, which would have implications for diplomatic text translation training and practice as well as linguistics.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Taziye mesajları literatürde bugüne dek kültürel ve kültürlerarası yönlerden incelenmiş, ancak diplomatik taziye mesajları, yazarın incelediği kadarıyla, bir çalışma hariç ele alınmamıştır. Bu anlamda, bu çalışma kendi türünde bir ilk olma özelliğini taşır ve odağını çeviribilim çerçevesinde bir terör saldırısı sonrasında yazılan taziye mesajlarının Türkçe çevirisinde tesbit edilen öyküntü yapılar oluşturmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, bütünce için amaçlı örneklem kullanılmış, internet kaynaklarından 2017 yılına girerken yeni yıl kutlamaları sırasında İstanbul’da ünlü bir gece kulübü olan Reina’ya yapılan terör saldırısı sonrasında dünyanın her yerinden liderlerin göndermiş olduğu ve doğrudan alıntılar ile medyada yayımlanan otantik taziye mesajları taranarak seçilmiştir. Aşağıdaki araştırma soruları işlevselci bir bakış açısı ile incelenmiştir: i. Türkçede bir terör saldırısı sonrasında yazılan diplomatik taziye mesajlarında tipik olarak izlenen makroyapı ve kesit nedir? ii.2017’e girerken, yeni yıl kutlamaları sırasında Türkiye’de, İstanbul’da, Reina’ya yapılan terör saldırısı örneğinde medyada yer alan çevirilerde kesit çerçevesinde karşımıza çıkan gelenek dışı kullanımlar, varsa, nelerdir? İlk araştırma sorusu için Tulun’da (1996) şablon olarak yer verilen taziye mesajları esas alınmış, ikinci araştırma sorusu için de Silva-Corvalán’ın (1994) belirlediği sınıflandırmanın birkaç basamağının, bu çalışmanın yazarı tarafından genişletilmiş olan versiyonu temelinde analiz yapılmıştır. Çalışma, ilk araştırma sorusundan hareketle, her iki dilde taziye mesajlarındaki yerleşik makroyapıyı ve kesiti saptamaktadır. İkinci aşama olarak ise, bu tipik kullanımlar ışığında, medyada yer alan Türkçe diplomatik taziye mesajlarındaki kesitte yer alan gelenek dışı dilsel kullanımlara, yani öyküntülere ışık tutmaktadır. Sonuç olarak elde edilen verilerin hem diplomatik metin çevirisi eğitimi ile uygulamasına, hem de dilbilime yansımaları olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
