Şem'î Dîvanı: Contextualized index and functional dictionary

Classical Turkish Literature continued its existence between the 13th and 19th centuries and experienced its most glorious period in the 16th century. In order to ensure that Classical Turkish poetry, which was formed in line with the world of thought of the poets, the symbols they used, their culture and the social, political and cultural conditions of the period, is understood today, the History and Literature Texts Contextual Index and Functional Dictionary (TEBDİZ) project is being carried out. This project aims to determine the meaning and context in which words are used in the works written until today. "Şem'î Dîvânı: Contextual Index and Functional Dictionary" was prepared for this purpose and within the scope of TEBDIZ project. In the first stage of the study, Şem'î Dîvân, which was published as a doctoral dissertation by Murat Ali Karavelioğlu, was uploaded to the TEBDİZ system with transcripts, then the meanings of the poems and words in the divan were evaluated according to the period and the words that were interpreted were brought together in the electronic database and a dictionary of the work was created. The study consists of two chapters and an appendix containing the dictionary of Şem'î Dîvânı. The first part of the study focuses on the poet's life and works. In the second part, idioms, proverbs, hadiths, prayers, prayers, verses and expressions of kind words in the divan are presented with examples. In the last section, there is a contextual index and functional dictionary of Şem'î Dîvânı. In this section, all the words in the work are listed alphabetically. This study aims to reveal not only the meanings and contexts of the words in Şem'î Dîvân, but also the world of meaning of Şem'î Dîvân and the vocabulary in the divan, thus contributing to both classical Turkish literature studies and the historical dictionary of Turkish.
