In the last part, author's first and last novels were examined within the framework of the mentioned vocabulary elements and a comparison of the vocabulary between the two works was made. Finally, the identified vocabulary items were concretized with graphics. Since Canistan is Yusuf Atılgan's last and "cannot be unfinished novel" and its subject is reflected from a traditional point of view, it is thought to dominate Aylak Adam's vocabulary to Canistan's. Because Aylak Adam, the subject of this novel was not processed in the years it was published, because of the originality of its narration and also because Atılgan's inclination to the inner world of C, the main character of the novel, is too good to be found, this study was started with the belief that it would be more dominant than Canistan in terms of vocabulary as well as in terms of its subject. However, as a result, it was observed that Canistan has a richer vocabulary than Aylak Adam in some aspects.
