IDIOMS EXPRESSING EMOTION IN DIVAN-I HIKMET AND THEIR REFLECTIONS TO CONTEMPORARY TURKISH DIALECTS

In the article, a scientific analysis has been made on the idioms in the form of compound verbs expressing emotion encountered in the copies of Dîvân-ı Hikmet in the libraries of the cities of Saint Petersburg, Egypt, İstanbul and Kökşetav and in the private library of Emel Esin. Idioms in the form of emotional compound verbs used in Yesevî’s hikmets are compared with their usage in historical and contemporary Turkish dialects. While the comparison was made, first of all, the structural aspect of the idioms was taken into account, but also their lexical-semantic meanings were tried to be revealed. In other words, the semantic closeness, interrelationships and differences of idioms,structurally the same or similar, used in hikmets, other historical works and contemporary Turkish dialects are emphasized. First of all, idioms in the form of compound verbs expressing emotion are classified as Persian and Turkish origin in terms of syntactic and structural aspects. Idioms in the form of emotional compound verbs formed according to the structure of Turkish were examined under several sub-titles such as ‘emotional idioms formed with organ names’, ‘emotional idioms formed with words related to body names’, ‘emotional idioms formed with concrete nouns’, ‘emotional idioms formed by analogy and comparison’ and ‘idioms formed with verbs’ and scientific analysis was made.
