Dictionary of Kâmî's Divan (Contextual index and functional dictionary)

Classical Turkish literature is a field with its own unique world of meanings and styles. The poets who produced works in this literary period, while adhering to the tradition of classical Turkish literature, tended to create original utterances, particularly in terms of style. In this respect, researchers working in this field have to both master the knowledge of the classical Turkish literary tradition and know the stylistic features of the poets. In this context, TEBDİZ (Contextual Index and Functional Dictionary of Turkish Literature) project, which aims to facilitate this background for researchers, helps to make classical Turkish literature texts more understandable. Thanks to these dictionaries, the words in the literary texts are shown in context and the folkloric, social and cultural elements in the texts can be determined. In this study, the contextual index and functional dictionary of Kâmî's Divan is prepared within the context of TEBDİZ project. The poems in the critical text of Kâmî's Divan, which was published by Prof. Dr. Ali YILDIRIM, are uploaded to the web page of TEBDİZ (www.tebdiz.com) and each word or phrase in the text is interpreted one by one. The contextual background provides further knowledge and guidance for the interpretation process; words and word groups are sorted by latin alphabet. This study consists of the preparation of the contextual index and functional dictionary of the Kâmî's Divan within the scope of TEBDİZ, the evaluation of the words and word groups in Kâmî's Divan in terms of meaning, and the examination of the work in terms of topic, language, and style. The study includes the contextual index and functional dictionary of Kâmî's Divan under the appendix title.
