Özet:

When examined in terms of description, visualization and transition between senses, it is seen that the works of Refik Halit are quite rich and effective. Studies examining his works in terms of form and content mainly focus on topics such as narrative techniques, social change, space and human relations, family, women's education. On the other hand, how the senses are conveyed and how the transition between the senses is provided in the works is missed. Both the author's political attitudes and the subject covered in the work have undoubtedly been influential in the historical, political and social analysis of the novel Yezidin Kızı. However, without losing sight of the author's political stance and the main orientation of the work, it should be noted that Yezidin Kızı is a remarkable text with its descriptions that will activate almost every sense of the reader, as well as showing the author's ability to observe, expressive and literary power. In Yezidin Kızı, Refik Halit intensely uses expressions that stimulate the reader's senses of touch, sight, smell, taste and hearing, and with his strong and effective descriptions, he ensures that many senses are perceived interchangeably in the imagination of the reader. In the novel, the sense of smell is very low compared to the others; it is striking that the transfer to the sense of touch is more. This article, whose field of study is Refik Halit's novel Yezidin Kızı, aims to reveal the nature of the descriptions that the author uses intensely in order to visualize what the author tells in the mind of the reader, how he appeals to the senses while making these descriptions, and how he provides the transition between the senses through examples.
