Sözlük Birim Bir Unsur Olarak Türkçede Organ Adlarına Dayalı Ölçü Adları
Glossary Unit Names Based on Organ Names in Turkish as an Element of Meter

Summary/Abstract: Lexical units, also known as “lexical entries” in lexicography, are lexical elements, and have different structures and qualities in each language. Dictionary entries include either include nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, exclamations, verbs, or phrases. Elements that enhance these may include kinship terms, color terms, proverbs, stereotypes, name transfers, translation elements, quotations, or idioms. This study aims to examine the names of such units in historical Turkic languages and their respective dictionaries, as well as to develop a deeper understanding of their structure, meaning, origin and cultural characteristics spanning Old Turkic to the into the present day –with a particular focus on measurement terms (i.e. quantity, weight, length and area) and how they have evolved over time. This study also takes the vocabulary of older Turkic languages through the lens of organ terms, including nouns and verbs related to those terms. Our findings reveal that Anatolian Turkish is particularly fruitful in this area of study, as the reader shall see.
