ACCORDING TO TEXT LINGUISTICS A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF POEMS: TAHMÎS BY NABI VS GAZEL BY FUZUL

Text linguistics that was initiated as of 1950’s, consists of the methods and the approaches related to the analysis of the relationships among the structures beyond the sentence level in written or spoken text and it deals with all kinds of text. Text is a piece of language and every text conveys a message. The message consists of semantic, pragmatic and textual components. A text both semantic product and process as well as a “communicative occurrence”. These are the required standards of textuality. There are seven principles of textuality: Cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality, and intertextuality. However, because of its particular qualities, poetry is could not be analyzed fully via criteria of text linguistics. Therefore imagery, smiles, connations and semantic progression should be the other criteria. In this text, by applying the text linguistical methods, a Nâbî’s tahmîs which was converted from Fuzûlî’s gazal is analyzed comparatively. To the best of this researcher’s knowledge, new methods and approaches are limitedly made use of when analyzing the Divan literature. The assumption in this study is that empyloyment of contemporary methods and approaches could lead to better understanding of this deep rooted literature. Hence, the ultimate aim of this article is to contribute to the literature in this respect.
