Son Dönemde Atasözleri ve Deyimler Üzerine Yapılmış Çalışmalardan İkisi Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme (Kitap Eleştirisi)
An Evolution of Two Books that Published on Turkish Proverbs and Idioms

Summary/Abstract: Idiom is a group of words or an expression that cannot be translated literally; proverb is a general truth about life that may have been passed on orally. Proverbs are little stories with a moral message; idioms are just a few words used to express a bigger idea. Proverbs and idioms are very important for our language. They contain lifestyles, traditions, beliefs, and many more features of Turkish communities. So far, many studies have been made on proverbs and idioms in Turkish. Asst. Assoc. Dr. Necmi Akyalcın, who is a member of Department of Turkish Language and Literature at COMU, published two books in 2012 with the titles “Turkcemizin Anlamsal Zenginlikleri DEYİMLERİMİZ” and “Turkcemizin İncileri ATASOZLERİMİZ- Tanıklı Sozluk” for saying something different than the previous studies about proverbs and idioms. In this article we will try to evaluate these books in terms of academic criteria.
