Basic skills to be imparted in Turkish language education are determined as listening, speaking, reading and writing which are based on comprehending and narrating. In order to impart these skills, higher level language mastery should be imparted. To this end, instead of termbased grammar instruction delivered through classic applications and methods, meaning-based grammar instruction and education linked to skill areas should be delivered. In such an approach, by moving from meaning towards term, both the meaning dimensions of sentences are perceived and understood and term names of the units involved in the meaning dimension are learned. Teaching of the subject of sentence analysis, one of the grammar subjects, by means of an approach from meaning towards term enables the inculcation of the basic and advanced language skills to a large degree and at the same time allows meaningterm association. The aim of this study is examine the texts that include parts of speech as the attainments in two 8th grade Turkish textbooks that are published by two publishers (Ministry of National Education Publishing, Dikey Publishing) and to compare them in quality and quantity in terms of syntax by focusing on meaning and terms. The current study employed the case study design, one of the qualitative research methods. The data of the current study were collected through the document analysis method. For this purpose, the sentences in the six texts through which the objectives related to the elements of a sentence are intended to be achieved in the Turkish textbooks prepared by two different publishing houses for the secondary school eighth grade were first divided into phrases considering their meanings, then meaning name of each phrase was determined; after that from the meaning names table formed, term names of the phrases detected in the sentence corresponding the meaning names were found. In this way, it is pointed out that it can be possible to learn meaning names and term names of phrases simultaneously. In the discussions and suggestions section at the end of the study, it is argued that teaching of the subject of the elements of a sentence, one of the grammar subjects taught in formal educational institutions, by emphasizing phrase-meaning association can contribute to the development of students’ language skills to higher levels and their self-perception, perception of the world and environment.
