On The Trail of a Duality From Women's Headgear to Kitchenware: Tas tebilek

Abstract

The fact that some language elements belonging to historical Turkish are not present in Turkish does not mean that they have been forgotten or have fallen out of use. One of the most important tools that carry these elements to the present day is the folk dialects. Because the people are quite successful in using old elements or creating new language elements. Sometimes, the people who revive an old word by giving it new meanings make important contributions to the Turkish language in this context. Tas tebilek, which we encounter in some regions of Western Anatolia, is one of the best examples of this. The words tas and tebilek, which mean women's headdress, have been stripped of their basic meanings in the regional dialects and have taken on the meaning of dowry and kitchenware in the form of a reduplication. The study is on the semantic and morphological evaluation of the tas tebilek reduplication pronounced in the Alaşehir and Sarıgöl districts of Manisa and some villages affiliated to these districts. The words tas tebilek, which form a new and different reduplication, are among the words we encounter in historical texts and in this context, they are of a nature that will contribute to the vocabulary.
