HÜSEYİN AVNİ BEY'S FOLK KNOWLEDGE ASSOCIATIONS OF NİĞDE


It is observed that steering the elite’s point of view towards the public and folkloric culture and the prominence given to various compilation and review studies are made possible by describing folklore as a branch of science. In this context, since the researchers studies towards institutional studies in accordance with various applicable methods, they published a magazine in 1928 entitled “Halk Mecmuası” During his journeys, Hüseyin Avni Bey took some notes about the local dialect which are published in Halk Bilgisi Magazine. Although the author was concerned about the lack of systematic integrity of the collected data, he decided to present the data collected by taking into consideration their contribution to science. Hüseyin Avni Bey contributed to Compilation Dictionary (Turkey Turkish Dialect Dictionary) with his study. With his small work, he intended to introduce a few pure Turkish words which had not yet fully formed in the literary language to our literature. Even though our dictionary is completely local and informative, we observe various evidence that many of those were used in almost the same way, or with little differences in the neighborhoods of Konya, Kayseri, Ankara, and Adana. As investigations emerge similar to Necîb Âsım Bey's accusations about the language investigations embodied by Kilis and Erzurum dialects four and five years ago mean that, the activities that would provide revival the Turkish language. These collections and surveys, which will continue in Halk Bilgisi Magazine, clearly contribute to language work which has very important features for the society if they affect the Turkish language improvement task even at a minimal rate considering their results based on scientific activities.
