Canlı bir varlık olan
dil, hem biçim hem anlam yönünden değişmeler yaşayan bir unsurdur. Kullanılan
araç gereçlerdeki gelişmeler, inançların ve yaşam koşullarının değişmesi, başka
dillerden etkilenmeler, savaşlar, göçler dili değişime uğratan etkenlerden
bazılarıdır. Bu değişimlere paralel
olarak bir dil birimi olan sözcüklerde de anlam değişmeleri kapsamında anlam
daralması, anlam genişlemesi, başka anlama geçiş gibi anlam olayları meydana
gelmektedir. Anlam daralması, sözcüklerin zaman içinde bir veya birkaç anlamını
yitirmesi ya da genel anlamdan özel anlama geçmesi; anlam genişlemesi,
sözcüklerin zamanla yeni anlamlar kazanması veya özel anlamdan genel anlama
geçmesi; başka anlama geçiş ise sözcüklerin var olan anlamlarının zaman içinde
değişmesi demektir. Bir süreç içinde meydana gelen bu anlam değişmeleri art
zamanlı olarak incelenir.
Dil ve edebiyat çalışmalarında
sözcüklerin anlam bakımından geçirdiği değişimleri görmek, incelenen metni
doğru anlama ve yorumlama bakımından oldukça önemli bir husustur. Biz de art
zamanlı anlam değişmelerinin tespit edilmesinin önemine binaen bu makalemizde
16. yüzyıla ait olan ve mensur Yusuf kıssası ile manzum dinȋ hikâyelerden
oluşan Cevahirü’l-Ahbar fi Hasayili’l-Ahyar adlı bir yazma eseri esas alıp bu
eserde geçen bazı kelimelerin günümüz Türkiye Türkçesine kadar geçirdiği anlam
değişmelerini sunacağız. Ancak sadece bu esere bağlı kalmayarak Dede Korkut,
Marzubanname, Harneme, Tarama Sözlüğü, Derleme Sözlüğü, Kamus-ı Türki,
Osmanlıca-Türkçe Sözlük, Lehçe-i Osmani ve Türkçe Sözlük’ten de örnekler
vereceğiz. Makalemiz 16. yüzyıldan günümüze anlam değişmeleri konusunda bir
inceleme örneğidir.
ABSTRACT
As a living
organism, language undergoes changes both in form and meaning. Developments in
the tools and equipments people use, changing beliefs and living conditions,
exposure to other languages, wars and migrations are some of the factors that
cause changes in language. In line with these changes, also words, as a unit of
language, go through semantic events such as semantic narrowing, semantic
extension and semantic shift as part of semantic changes. Semantic narrowing
refers to a type of semantic change by which a word loses one or multiple
meanings, or shifts to a specific meaning from general meaning over time;
semantic extension refers to the process through which words gain new meanings,
or shifts to general meanings from specific meanings over time; and semantic
shift refers to a change in the meaning of a word over time. These semantic
changes occurring within a process are analysed diachronically.
In linguistic and
literary studies, identifying the semantic changes that words undergo is highly
important to understand and interpret texts correctly. Considering the
significance of identifying diachronic semantic changes, this paper analyses a
manuscript called Cevahirü’l-Ahbar fi
Hasayili’l-Ahyar that was written in the 16th century and
contains the parable of Joseph written in prose as well as poetic religious
stories, and reveal the semantic changes that some of the words in this
manuscript underwent until the present day Turkey Turkish. However, the study
does not stick to only this work and also presents examples from Dede Qorqud,
Marzubanname, Harname, Tarama Dictionary, Compilation Dictionary, Kamus-ı
Türki, Ottoman Turkish-Turkish Dictionary, Lehƈe-i Osmanî and Turkish
Dictionary. The paper provides an analysis of semantic changes since the 16th
century to the present day.
