Özet:

The introduction of the novel into Turkish literature coincided with the Tanzimat period. In this period, literature gains functionality through the mission of educating and transforming society, the novel was also affected by this mission. The novel that has facility to reflect all stages of society and social events, takes route according to its writer's style and the period when it was written. Halide Edip as a novelist of the republic period is seen as a novelist who undertook certain missions for the formation of the society and the construction of the national identity in the transition period from empire to nation state. The writer who wrote with the conscious of creating a new nation builds her works with the approach which is qualified as a "monologic discourse" and she wrote on the cases like "Independence War" and "Greek Occupation". In this study, Halide Edip's Shurun Kahpeye and Zeyno's Son novels are going to be analyzed in the context of firstly Bakhtin's polyphony theory in novel and secondly the methodology as the means of construction of meaning developed by Thompson. Thus it is going to be explained the interaction between Halide Edip's style and discourse.
