The Court of Nebzi Contextual Index and Functional Dictionary

Each literary work reflects the culture, beliefs, literary tastes and understanding of art of the period in which it was created. 13. from the century 19. classical Turkish poetry, which reigned for six centuries up to the century, also offers sections from the language, culture and art concepts of its period. 20. in the century, social and cultural life, thought system and intellectual structure started to change under the influence of the West, and a Western-oriented culture and literature were formed. With this new formation, it has become difficult to understand the classical literary products. Nowadays, the connection of classical poetry with its reader has reached the breaking point. In order for classical Turkish poetry to be better understood by modern people, there has been a need to explain the world of meaning of classical poetry. Based on this need, the electronic dictionary system has been developed in order to bring together the world of meaning of Deccan poetry on a common platform TEBDIZ (Contextual Index and Functional Dictionary of Historical and Literary Texts), the infrastructure of which is supported by Gazi University. This system was used in the preparation of contextual indexes of the poems in the Amasya Nebzi Divan. The poems on the divan were uploaded to the TABDIZ, numbered according to their shapes and types. A detailed breakdown of all the words, proverbs, idioms, stereotyped expressions, slang words, verses, hadiths, prayer expressions in the uploaded poems has been taken and their functional meanings have been determined and individual meanings have been given to the words and word groups. By revealing the existence of the Amasya Nebzi Divan's lyrics, it was determined how the cultural elements of the period were reflected in the poet's poems. In this way, Nebzi's poems in particular are intended to make classical Turkish poetry understandable in general.
