ALÎ ŞÎR NEVÂYÎ’DE SÖZ CEVHERİ, YERİ VE SÖZ SÖYLEME SANATI

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the last founding artist in the entire history of Turkish literature is Alisher Navai (1441-1501). Navai, who studied in deep-rooted cultural centers, learned the science, social, religious and artistic sciences of the period from famous teachers, and gained inspiration from Sufis such as Kemal Tevbetî, Ebul-Lays Semerkandî and Abdurrahman Jami, guided the culture, science, civilization and art life of his country. When his verse and prose works are examined in terms of philology, it is indisputable that he is a master of Turkish with all his subtleties and rhetoric, that he has carried the tradition to the highest level by both continuing the tradition and bringing innovations, and that he is a competent name in rhetoric and logic. Nevâyî shows his ability to construct in all kinds of things he wants to write, in an appropriate style. On the word and its source which is the basis of language, in the introduction of his works such as Dîbâçe, Hamse, Muhakemetü’l-Lugateyn and Mîzânü’l-Evzân, Nazmü’l-Cevâhir he writes couplets about the word. In this article, his views on the emergence of word, heart, reason and word will be emphasized.Key words: Nevâyî, Eastern Turkish (Chagatai), Word, Word Pearl, spirit
