Social psychology and linguistics are two scientific disciplines that deal with human as their principle subject matter. Focusing on where these disciplines meet and how they feed each other, this paper aims to investigate the interdisciplinary contribution of social psychology and linguistics to each other. To achieve this, the contrastive analysis (CA) is applied which is composed of three steps as (1) description; (2) juxtaposition; (3) comparison (Krzeszowski, 1990). This comparative revision reveals that social psychology applies and investigates many fundamental areas in linguistics and particularly benefits from the language as data collection tool and method in the investigation to understand human behavior. Specifically, social psychology discusses the language with its communication aspect to examine and to analyze the human behavior. On the other hand, linguistics benefits from social psychology as it provides insights into the social and behavioral factors. There are some research areas and theories that these disciplines contribute to each other such as communication accommodation theory, speech act theory, expectancy theory, prejudice, politeness, patronizing speech, gender. Such a review is expected to benefit researchers by encouraging a wider view of intersection of these two disciplines and interdisciplinary critical thinking.

Sosyal psikoloji ve dilbilim, temel araştırma konusu olarak insanı ele alan iki bilimsel disiplindir. Bu disiplinlerin nerede buluştuğuna ve birbirini nasıl beslediğine odaklanan bu makale, sosyal psikoloji ve dilbilimin birbirine disiplinler arası katkısını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için, şu üç adımdan oluşan karşılaştırmalı analize başvurulmuştur: (1) tanımlama; (2) yan yana getirme; (3) karşılaştırma (Krzeszowski, 1990). Bu karşılaştırmalı revizyon, sosyal psikolojinin dilbilimdeki birçok temel alanı araştırdığını ve özellikle insan davranışını anlamak için veri toplama aracı ve yöntemi olarak dilden yararlandığını ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle, sosyal psikoloji, insan davranışını incelemek ve çözümlemek için dili iletişim yönüyle tartışır. Öte yandan, dilbilim, sosyal ve davranışsal faktörlere ilişkin içgörüler sağladığı için sosyal psikolojiden yararlanır. İletişim uyumu kuramı, söz edimi kuramı, dil beklentisi kuramı, önyargı, nezaket, tepeden bakan konuşma, toplumsal cinsiyet gibi bu disiplinlerin birbirine katkı sağladığı bazı araştırma alanları ve kuramlar vardır. Bu makalenin, bu iki disiplinin kesişimine ilişkin daha geniş bir bakış açısına ve disiplinler arası eleştirel düşünmeye teşvik ederek araştırmacılara fayda sağlaması beklenmektedir.
