RELIGIOUS METAPHOR S IN THE WORKS OF MESHUR JUSIP KOPEYULI AND THEIR EXPLANATIONS

Introduction. In Classical Turkish

Literature, metaphor has a wide scope as a

literary term. But there is no common

definition. The reason for this is that

metaphor is used in different meanings by

divan poets. In Classical Turkish Literature, a

fine and wide variety of metaphors have been

put forward. Thanks to literary arts, most of

the metaphors appear in different works in

different periods. Since the material of

literature is language, the ability to reveal

hidden meanings by making word games

indicates the value of the poet and the work

[1, 20-22]. The thoughts and dreams that are

the subject of metaphor are usually chosen

from the outside world and are closely related

to

beliefs or traditions. Metaphor is an

important part of the poetic tradition and the

world of images, and perhaps a language of

art with a higher identity in terms of being an

indicator of poetry.
