Kitâb-i Garîb of the poet Garîbî of Kashgar (text-analysis-index)

One of the products of our oral culture, verbal duel is one of the most preeminent way for language and culture transmission. With the tradition of verbal duel, the language had the opportunity to prosper and flourish with various metaphors, figure of speech and rhetoric. It found its place not only in the traditional oral culture, but also in the written literature, though not frequently in the latter one. Thus, the rich linguistic presence it had was permanently recorded. The Kitâb-ı Garîb, which we examined in this study, is a work that reflects the tradition of verbal duel, a product of oral literature, to the written literature. While the verbal duels of the tradesmen are included in the work, the moral characteristics the professionals are expected to possess are also mentioned.
