Abstract
Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk is one of the most significant and ancient dictionaries in the history of the Turkish language. Composed during the Karakhanid Turkish period, this work has been extensively studied in the field of Turkology, thanks to its extensive vocabulary. In the context of this article, Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk was chosen as a primary source of data, and a fresh attempt at classification was undertaken by categorizing the war-related terms within the text under various thematic headings. Within this classification, the war-related terms in Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk were scrutinized through seven primary categories. The analysis revealed that the category of ‘Tools and Equipment’, as well as ‘Horses and Gifts’, stood out as the most frequently employed topics, constituting 48% of the usage. This was followed by categories such as ‘Words Relating to Individuals’ and ‘Expressions Used in Various War Situations’, making up 18% and 15% respectively. This article aims to introduce a novel classification endeavor on this subject, drawing from existing research on war terminology within Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk, and aims to serve as a foundational resource for future studies in this area.
