Summary/Abstract: Laments are one of the most important verse forms of folk literature in terms of reflecting the common feelings of the people. They often express the pain of death. When we look at the contents in terms of content, it is seen that although it is improvised, it has a rich content in terms of folklore elements. In our work, anonymous lamentations and lovers' weights in the thesis entitled "Çukurova Anonymous Folk Literature and Oral History in Ashik Literature" (Adana-Osmaniye), which is accepted as a graduate thesis in 2012, will be examined in terms of folklore elements. The folklore elements in the lace that originated in the oral history of Çukurova will be classified and interpreted in the direction of the folk culture tradition by giving examples from the lamentary texts related to these elements.
