The phrase is deeply linked to the 'Language Revolution'. Using it correctly shows a good command of modern, standard Turkish as opposed to older, more Arabic-influenced styles. Precision is valued in Turkish business. Using 'söz konusu' to refer to specific contract terms or meeting points is seen as a sign of professional competence. Journalists use this phrase constantly to remain objective. Instead of saying 'the lie', they say 'söz konusu iddia' (the allegation in question). In Turkish law, 'söz konusu' is the standard way to identify the 'subject matter' of a case. It is one of the first formal phrases law students learn.
