Seyâhatnâme’de Mübalağa Bildiren İfade Kalıpları

Özet

Abstract

Seyahatname, which is a great legacy of Ottoman prose to the present day with its structure and content, has attracted the attention of researchers for years thanks to its broad scope of subject and the valuable information it provides, and has been the source of many studies in different fields. While evaluating the exaggerated expressions in Evliya Çelebi’s work, only their reality was questioned, and their structure and usage features were ignored. When examined, it is seen that the exaggerated statements used in the Seyahatname are repeated in certain patterns in some places and gain a systematic structure. In this study, the mentioned expressions will be itemized, and an evaluation will be made on their structure and frequency of use. The scope of the study consists of the first five volumes of the Seyahatname, which is ten volumes in total. The aim of the study is to examine exaggerations, one of the stylistic characteristics of Evliya Çelebi, from various perspectives. The exaggerated forms of expression used by Evliya Çelebi while describing a situation or event are itemized in the formulaic expressions such as “-misâl …, tahrîr eylesek/etsek ... olur, ol kadar ... kim ..., ... var(dır) kim ..., ... (-dXr) kim ... mümkün değil(dir), ... kim gûyâ/gûyiyâ ...” taking into account those who have reached a certain majority in number. Afterwards, an explanation was given about the use of the expressions, examples were given where the expressions were used, and a collective evaluation was made in the “Conclusion” section.

Çalışmanın kapsamını yekûnu on cilt olan Seyâhatnâme’nin ilk beş cildi oluşturur. Çalışmanın amacı, Evliya Çelebi’nin üslup özelliği olan mübalağaların farklı bir yönden ele alınmasıdır. Evliya Çelebi’nin bir durumu, bir olayı anlatırken kullandığı abartılı ifade biçimleri, sayıca belli bir çoğunluğa ulaşanlar dikkate alınarak -misâl …, tahrîr eylesek / etsek ... olur, ol kadar ... kim ..., ... var(dır) kim ..., ... (-dXr) kim ... mümkün değil(dir), ... kim gûyâ / gûyiyâ ... gibi kalıp ifadeler hâlinde maddelenmiştir. Sonrasında ifadelerin kullanımıyla ilgili açıklama yapılmış, ifadelerin geçtiği yerlere örnekler verilmiş ve “Sonuç” kısmında toplu bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
