Some Evaluations on Two Different Styles on Nefi's Siham-ı Kaza and Turkish Divan

Ahmet AKGÜL — 2026-07-16

It is possible to see wit of Nef'i, one of the most important poets of 17th century, in Turkish Divan poems. However it is not possible to see wit and literary strength of Nefi, which we are used to, in poems in Siham-ı Kaza which is famous for being humorous. In this work, Nefi used a language which can be qualified as rude, unprocessed and containing a lot of swear words. It is unquestionable that readers, who are used to high level of intelligence and wit of Nef'i shows in Divan, won't enjoy these poems. Researchers like Köprülü examined this situation, too. Almost all researchers studying on Siham-ı Kaza state the fact that poems in this work owe their humour and poetry to slang statements and words instead of wit. In this study, the reasons of difference/incompatibility of style between Turkish Divan and Siham-ı Kaza, which are known to belong to Nef'i, have been thought. In this context, these two mentioned works have been tried to be analyzed in terms of vocabulary and literary values.

With the foundation of Turkish Republic important changes were made in the history course curriculums appropriate to the national and secular character of the state. The history course curriculums were purified from the teocratic and autocratic contents of “dynastic” conception of history of Ottoman Empire and restored a national and secular frame.

In “Ortamekteps” which is the the first circuit of high schools the history courses were devoted to Ancient history and civilizazations, History of Islam, Turkish Hitory before Ottoman Period and Ottoman History. Turkish history was dealed with an approach of “Civilization History” in a comparative way and related with Eropean and World History.

According to this approach ancient civilizations, history of Islam, Turkish History before Ottoman Period and Ottoman History reflected via important developments and in a systematic style which is based on periods and themes. Moreover, “High School First Grade” history curriculums of the two periods were translated into new letters and these were given in the appendix.

How to date Yenisei Inscriptions?

Erhan AYDIN — 2026-07-16

Yenisei inscriptions are inscriptions along the Yenisei River having a total number of 250 and thought to have been erected by the Kyrgyz. Among these inscriptions, although the first discovered one was Uybat III (E 32) Inscription, not much had been known about the characteristics of the alphabet and who they belonged to until the inscriptions remained from the Second East Turkic Khanate was found in 1889 by N. Yadrintsev. After the decipherment of the letters in this alphabet by Thomsen, researches mostly focused on the Mongolian area, and attempts were also made to read these inscriptions. In this sense, we should mention the names Radloff, S. Ye. Malov and H. N. Orkun. None of the Yenisei inscriptions bear a date. Maybe they did not have advanced calendar systems to be used in the inscriptions. The common characteristic of almost every inscription is that they mention, rather than historical events, what the hero of the inscription did, why he died, and longing for family members, homeland, sky and sun as told from his mouth; as a result, they did not caught the attention of researches apart from scientists on Turkish language. In this article, 170 inscriptions, whose texts are available, have been analyzed in detail, and our attention has been devoted to the narrations in the texts which might be dated. It has been attempted to determine at least when a few of the inscriptions were erected.

Usage Of Zero Unit And Zero Morpheme In Language

Hasene AYDIN — 2026-07-16

Some language units are left in deep structure during communication due to least effort law in language, necessity of keeping away from unnecessary repetitions, aesthetical concerns etc. and consequently some spaces come up in surface structure. Zero unit (Ø) is used for words / phrases and zero morpheme (-Ø) is used for suffixes for the purpose of showing these spaces. Zero unit / zero morpheme express the language units which don’t have any indicators in surface structure but have a function in language system. They are common indicators of these language units. Accordingly the language units that are described by each zero unit / zero morpheme and their functions are different. Many language units are described by zero unit / zero morpheme in surface structure in language. The aim of this study is to determine the areas of usage of zero unit / zero morpheme in language.

Mehmet Akif as a Poet of Compassion

Selma BAŞ — 2026-07-16

One of the interesting themes covered in Turkish poetry is compassion. Events experienced by poor, homeless, ill or desperate people in their daily lives, miseries felt or unfair situations encountered by people are covered within the scope of a sense of pity and compassion.

İhsan Yılmaz BAYRAKTARLI — 2026-07-16

The paper discusses the Turk languages, respectively the Altai languages from the important aspects as classification, transcription as well as distribution and history. The family relationships among the Ural-Altaic are also an important aspect. The classification, distribution and number of speaker of the Uralic is also anchored, intentional and irrespective of the existence of a relationship. Especially the classification of the ur- Altaic and its derivates are treated illustratively. Hereby, perspectives different experts are briefly outlined. These perspectives as well as the illustrations are based on the Turkology, respectively on the accepted sources in the field of Ural-Altaic. The paper comprises new constructive ideas as well as contrastive comparisons. The linguistic records of experts were treated preferential. Despite intented to analyse the development, distribution and classification of the Ural-Altaic language group in general, the Turk languages are favored due to their spread, high number of speaker and their varying transcription. Furthermore, the demographic significance of the Turk languages are not fully understood. Turkologists treat this subject justifiably subject-specific and mostly very complicated. Hence, the paper is expected to fill a gap through its different perspective.

Yakup ÇETİN — 2026-07-16

The same Turkish foreign language learners of a university preparatory school (N=35) were tested twice on the same pre-intermediate reading passage within one month interval. In the first condition students were given the reading test (pre-test) during the class time upon watching a documentary on wild life for 40 minutes. After a month before they were given the same reading test (post –test) in the same classroom setting, they were shown mental pollutants - a compilation of various videos with violent, scary, erotic, and comedic content from popular video-sharing websites for 40 minutes.

Notes on the Etymology of Sukıngu “bathroom”

Galip GÜNER — 2026-07-16

In this paper we do an etymological essay of the word sukıngu which used in Sekiz Yükmek. According to Juten Oda sukıngı is derivated from suk- or sok- “to thrust into” and it means “winter dwelling”. Marcel Erdal disagrees this opinion and claims that it is derivated from sogın- “cool themselves” and he transcribes this word as sogıngu means “refreshing room for the summer”. Şen claims that this word is derivated from sukın- which means “to take a bath” in Old Turkic and explains its meaning as “bathroom”. We share the same views with Şen about the meaning of sukıngu. But we claim that the root of this word is sug- “to drain (water etc.)” in Old Turkic. Then added this word -(X)n- reflexive suffix and it became sugın- “to bathe”. -gu+ in Turkic, makes place names and when this suffix added to the sugıngu it means “bathroom”.

A Study of Comparative Look to the Novels of Umberto Eco’s Gülün Adı and Orhan Pamuk’s Benim Adım Kırmızı

Ekrem GÜZEL — 2026-07-16

Abstract Comparative literature is a discipline which bases on comparison between literary works and authors. A comparison is necessary in order to fasten down the influences of a work or author on another work or author. Although this discipline rather handles the works written in different languages, also examines the interaction among literary products of same language. Postmodernism raised the importance of comparative literature. Through intertextuality, which is used by postmodernism, the effects among works became more clear. Some parallelisms draw the attention between the novels of Umberto Eco’s Gülün Adı and Orhan Pamuk’s Benim Adım Kırmızı in context of comparative literature. The similarities between the two works are being put into words on various occasions but the nature of this resemblance is not being mentioned too much. The events passing through on closer centuries, having contents based on knowledge and art, the quarrel between reformers and conservatives, the methods of approaching to murders and solving them evoke between two novels. In this study, we tried to examine the probable effects of Gülün Adı on Benim Adım Kırmızı.

An Archaic use of the Word “Keri (Geri)” in Turkey Turkish Accents

Bülent HÜNERLİ — 2026-07-16

Many archaic elements that aren’t present in standard language are known to live in dialects. Archaism appears not only in suffix and word form which are visible parts of language but also appears in meaning and role. Therefore, many words used in standard Turkey Turkish can appear in Anatolian accents with meanings and roles of archaic.

The Impact of Medium Haplology in The Some Verbs to the Feature of Framework

Tahir KAHRAMAN — 2026-07-16

9 verbs that derived from the suffix of –il such as “ayrıl-, devril-…” and are being used by dropping the medium syllable vowel indicates both the feature of “reflexive framework verb” and “passive framework verb”. These verbs hold a “reflexive meaning” when they become the predicate of some sentences and in some sentences, they hold a “passive meaning”. In the Turkish dictionaries and the spelling dictionaries that are published by the related institutions, it is not included any form of these verbs that are not dropped the medium syllable vowel such as “-ayırıl”, “-deviril”. In these publications, there are some verbs whics are similar in the strucuture of sound, but are used by not dropping the medium syllable vowel such as “geçiril-, kemiril-, sömürül-…” do not have the form that are dropped medium vowel syllable. The numbers of these verbs that are not dropped the medium vowel syllable are 46. From the meanings of explanations in the dictionaries, it can be understood that all of them are the passive voice and they can only be used in that meaning. 9 verbs that are drop the medium syllable vowel we stated above, bring out some complications and inconsistency about in which usage it is “passive verb” and in which usage it is “reflexive verb”. This situation is based on the ability between the reader-listener and the constructor of the sentence. In order not to ocur this complications and inconsistency, like the other list of 46 verbs, the spelling dictionaries should be included these forms of 9 verbs which are not dropped the medium syllable vowel and the meanings in the dictionaries should be explained according to the “active voice verbs”. It should be protected the forms of the ones who are dropped the medium syllable vowel; however, the meanings should be explained as a “reflexive voice”.

A Study of the Problem of Intricate Sentence

Serdal KARA — 2026-07-16

When dealing with the question of whether one should evaluate sentences based on verbalnoun as part of a simple sentence or as a compound sentence linguists have taken different approaches. These differences arise from the question: do verbalnoun form a subordinate clause or not? As is known verbalnoun bear both characteristics that are specific to verbs and characteristics that are specific to nouns. Or in other words: while verbalnoun continue to have features specific to a verb within a sentence they complete a predicate from different angles such as noun, adjective and adverb and can take suffixes like possessive and conditional suffixes, which the noun can also take. Thus these specifics of verbalnoun have become the reason why linguists take different approaches concerning the structure of sentences based on verbals. While engaging with this topic I shall attempt to categorise the different results by examining these different views and evaluations.

Şi'r-i İntikâdî" In Classical Turkish Poetry

Zülküf KILIÇ — 2026-07-16

In this study which we tried to answer the question which feelings and the objectives drive the critic poet to criticize rather than what was criticized or why they were criticized. While we are trying to show the criticism in our Classical Ottoman Poetry as a part of the life, we are going to emphasize the personal reasons of the criticism. We need to know that the people whose being described as an “Intellectual” is not wrong cannot stay away from criticizing the defects. For this reason, everything could be the subject of the criticism.While beard, moustache or the hypocrisy of a person sometimes became the subject of criticism, sometimes an administrator’s deficiences and flaws became the subject of criticism. Sometimes, even the minor social degenerations which the masses of people could not realize when they were alive were expressed. That is why the criticism, as we think, was not a remote subject for the Classical Ottoman poets, on the contrary, the criticism was closely related to their lives.

Cahit Sıtkı puts the poetry writing into his life-center place while he excludes everything as an enemy that threat his freedom.

Poet who heals his soul with such high values, is seized of a lightened, vivid emotional flood when escapes from pessimism and feels the love. It is such an enthusiasm that even nature accompanies him with vitality. When Cahit Sıtkı meets with his wife (Mrs. Cavidan), his perception of love as a shelter calms down then lover, no longer, leaves from its mortal sides and becomes an “angel”. Cahit Sıtkı when his death that occurs at an unexpected time, gifts his “angel” lover to self conscious of humanity.

Tahir ZORKUL — 2026-07-16

We encounter tradition as a concept with a wide definition frame from its meaning in daily life to religion, from economics to sociology which always protects its place in the focus of discussions everywhere and every time. The reason behind the existence of tradition is “continuousness” and the persistent maintenance of this continuousness against change. Turkish poets interested in tradition are observed to deal with tradition in sense and sentiment plan rather than style and to be in struggle for attaining an interpretation. One of these poets is Arif Ay. He believes that poem springs to life through tradition and a poem unrelated with tradition cannot live long. With this belief, he establishes a bond with past in his poems. The sources of the poems of Arif Ay demonstrate that Yunus Emre and Karacaoğlan are two basic figures feeding his poems. Both figures take place in his poems as sensibility. Having a rich image world, Arif Ay is known for his sensible attitude towards tradition. We reach a traditional poetic sensibility with his poems. He is one of the poets to successfully combine verse structural of folk poetry and the harmony of free verse.
