Özet:

The Age of the Chaghatai Turkish has an important position in the history of Turkic Languages. This age, which had been a common literary language age that had reached its climax since fourteenth century, by the contributions of Ali Shir Nawayi, forms the most important stage of the eastern branch of Turkish Language in literature. This literature, for researchers, is still too important from the point of wiev of the numbers of its sources and their qualities and it deserves researchs and studies about it. The Living of Human with the nature reflects on his language. The Turks, as we know, since the first periods of history, subsisted on hunting and lived nomadic life. Their transferring to the settled life had begun after the ninth century. Because of their these pecularities, we observe that the Turkish naming, concerned with nature, is rich. The nouns of plants and animals had been enriched by metaphors as a result of narrating based on the nature. To personify human characteristics and transferring them to animals, or on the contrary, to unify some characteristics of animals with human, had ornamented the Turkish vocabulary of the phrases and metaphors with the matchless treasuries. The separate and different studies on the periods of the Turkish Language will help to bring out these treasuries on the light. This study, which deals with the wild animals and predatory birds in the poems of the Chaghatai Period, enables us to see variety of Turkish Language in metaphors and using of the words outside of their real meanings. In this study we denoted that how the poets explain their expressions by the elephant, how they allude The Prophet Moses and his staff and how they express human soul using the Word “dog” Similar studies and researches on the other periods of the Turkish Language will show the map of the historical adventure of the words and meanings, and it enables us, to understand and remark the richness of our language.
