Abstract:

Omer Seyfettin, the pioneer of “Yeni Lisan Movement”, is a revolutionist who had noticed that the twentieth century is the nationalism age. In his “Yeni Lisan” headed articles, the author asserts that the society has to be a nation, the country can save from the big crisis merely by this way. According to Omer Seyfettin, a language is the fundamental concept which congregates the whole nation. He is not only a theorist but also a prolific author who writes articles, essays, poems, and short stories in the context of “Yeni Lisan Movement”. One of these, “Fon Sadriştayn’ın Oğlu” story is a noteworthy text because of its style and messages. In this paper we will consider how Omer Seyfettin reflects his ideas to this short story.
