This study
seeks out to see how a metaphorical denomination and a term comes to acquire
new names and by which means as well as to analyze if these new names are still
in line with initial attributes and proprieties. The case of study is the
rainbow. Needless to say, the sky has never been an ordinary theme in Turkish
cultures. For that reason, celestial notions and terms in that culture have an
extraordinary trajectory.The sky has never been an ordinary theme in Turkish
cultures. For that reason, celestial notions and terms in that culture have an
extraordinary trajectory and rainbow is among them. Various names were given to
this occurence in vernacular speech. In this study, we focused on divers names
given to the rainbow, evaluated them according to their metaphorical
relationship and tried to put forward the links between the natural phenomenon
and the vernacular culture. To do this, the names given to the rainbow in the
Derleme Sözlüğü were scrutinized as well as those kept in the cultural memory,
so as to determine the function of the metaphor. Socio-cultural aspects of the
names attributed to the phenomenon and elements of common memory elements are
thus revealed.
