Abstract:

 Dîvânu Lugâtit-Türk, written by Kashgarlı Mahmut in a period of two years in order to teach Turkish to Arabs based on a hadith he heard during the Karakhanids period, is an exceptional work documenting Turkish language and culture in terms of the elements of vocabulary it contains. Kashgarli Mahmut, who came from a noble family, received a good education in Kashgar, the capital of the Karakhanids, and knew that language was the most important element that would bring Turkic communities closer to each other, studied all the Turkic dialects living in Central Asia in the 11th century, put forward important details about the Turkic communities of the period in his work, created a Turkish-to-Arabic dictionary and presented it to the Abbasid caliph. In addition to the Arabic meanings of words, the dictionary includes many examples of Turkish folk literature and folklore. The work also provides information about the phonetic and morphological features of Turkish. In this study, Kashgarlı Mahmut revealed that Turkish and Arabic are very close languages in terms of superiority. The work, which is mentioned in some sources but a copy of which was found in Istanbul by Ali Emiri long after it was written, contains many words related to many fields, showing the richness of Turkish culture and language. In this study, the nouns, verbs, dilemmas and terms related to education in the work were identified and classified according to their concept areas, and the explanations and examples given by the author were taken into consideration in their evaluation. As a result of the classification, it has been determined that verbs are mostly used in relation to education, but also a considerable number of nouns and doublings are used.

 Karahanlılar döneminde işittiği bir hadis üzerine Kaşgarlı Mahmut tarafından Türkçeyi Araplara öğretmek niyetiyle iki yıl kadar bir sürede yazılan Dîvânu Lugâtit-Türk, içinde taşıdığı söz varlığı unsurları bakımından Türk dili ve kültürünü belgeleyen müstesna bir eserdir. Soylu bir aileden gelen, Karahanlıların başkenti Kaşgarda iyi bir eğitim görmüş olan ve Türk topluluklarını birbirine yaklaştıracak en önemli ögenin dil olduğunu bilen Kaşgarlı Mahmut, 11. yüzyılda Orta Asyada yaşayan tüm Türk lehçelerini incelemiş, dönemin Türk topluluklarıyla ilgili önemli ayrıntıları eserinde ortaya koyarak Türkçeden Arapçaya sözlüğünü oluşturmuş ve Abbasi halifesine sunmuştur. Sözlükte, kelimelerin Arapça anlamlarının yanı sıra Türk halk edebiyatına, folkloruna dair pek çok örnek bulunmaktadır. Eserde Türkçenin ses ve biçim özellikleri hakkında da bilgi verilmiştir. Kaşgarlı Mahmut yaptığı bu çalışmada Türkçe ile Arapçanın üstünlük bakımından birbirine çok yakın diller olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bazı kaynaklarda adı geçen fakat yazıldıktan uzun bir süre sonra Ali Emiri tarafından İstanbulda bir kopyası bulunan eserde birçok alanla ilgili Türk kültür ve dilinin zenginliğini gösteren pek çok kelime bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada eserde geçen eğitimle ilgili isimler, fiiller, ikilemeler ve terimler tespit edilerek kavram alanlarına göre sınıflandırılmış, değerlendirilmelerinde ise yazarın kendi verdiği açıklamalar ve örnekler dikkate alınmıştır. Yapılan sınıflandırma sonucunda eğitimle ilgili daha çok fiillerin kullanıldığı bunun yanında azımsanamayacak sayıda isimlerden ve ikilemelerden de faydalanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.
