This essay discusses the typology of case system in four varieties of Turkish language: Azeri, Khalaji, Anatolian and Uzbek Turkish. Case-marking is one of the applied methods to show the grammatical connection between elements of the sentence. It also indicates the grammatical connections between the noun and verb clauses. Theoretical approach of this study is based on Comrie's approach (1989),which has introduced the five types of languages. The data of the study are gathered from the literality texts and fictions in varieties of each language . According to these data, there are six types of case-marking in Turkish language and its dialect's that There are nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, locative and ablative. The case-marking bound morphemes are presented through suffixes. Transitivity topic is also examined in this research. Since the selected dialects belong to different branches of Turkish language, there are some similarities and differences between them which have been studied typologically.

The present study investigates the use of Argot language vocabulary in two gender groups. The Argot language is a collection of words and phrases that certain groups use to keep secrets inside their group against others. This sociolinguistics study describes the functional differences of the vocabulary of this language in two groups of males and females. Data were randomly collected through 60 face-to-face interviews. This research applied a descriptive and a case study method. The purpose of this research is to answer the question whether there is a significant difference between the lexical frequency and the expected occurence. To test the hypothesis, males respondents have used the most secret words in the interviewees, using Chi-square non-parametric tedst. The dependent variable in this study is the frequency of Argot vocabulary and independent gender variable is gender. It seems that gender plays an important role in the frequency of certain words; nevertheless, the results showed that there is no significant difference between the two gender variables and the use of the Argot vocabulary; however, the tendency of females to use argot vocabulary is less than men.

The uniformity of specialized terms of science and the clarity of scientific concepts to establish a common language among disciplines are essential in the domain of language planning. In this comparative research, the principles and policies of the Academy of Persian Language and literature (from 1989 to now) and the Infoterm were studied. To get an understanding of how theses principles and policies work in coining words in the Academy of Persian Language and literature, the scientific terms approved by the Academy of Persian Language and Literature were examined. This study is a type of theoretical research. The research method was content analysis and the data consisted of 40 scientific terms approved, published in its first to thirteenth booklet (1997-2016). The finding showed that the principles and coining of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature are in line with the principles and policies of the Infoterm. However, the synonyms and multiplicity of terminology and the conceptual plurality in various fields of science coined by the Academy of Persian Language and Literature causes confusion among experts in the scientific fields which is suggested to be at the Academy of Persian Language and literature 's agenda.
