Atasözleri Sadece Gerçek ve Mecaz Anlamlı Mıdır? Yrd. Doç. Dr. Saadettin KEKLİK Uşak Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi [email protected] Özet Birçok araştırmacı atasözlerini, gerçek anlamlı ve mecaz anlamlı şekilde sınıflandırmıştır. Acaba atasözleri sadece gerçek ve mecaz anlamlı mıdır? Özellikle gerçek anlamlı olduğu ifade edilen atasözleri gerçek anlamlı mıdır? Acaba atasözleri anlamları açısından başka bir şekilde sınıflandırabilir mi? Makalede bu soruların cevabı aranmıştır. Araştırma betimleyici bir çalışma olup veriler, doküman incelemesi yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmada önce çeşitli araştırmacılardan hareketle atasözleri anlam açısından incelenmiş sonra dört uzman görüşü doğrultusunda değerlendirilmiştir. Daha sonra atasözleri anlamları açısından derecelendirilmiş ve örneklendirilmiştir. Araştırmalarda gerçek anlamlı olduğu ifade edilen atasözlerinin bazılarının kısmen mecaz anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kısmen gerçek kısmen mecaz anlamlı atasözlerinin başka bir kavramla adlandırılması gerekmektedir. Araştırmacı bu tür atasözleri için “kısmen mecaz anlamlı atasözleri” kavramını önermektedir. Buna göre, atasözleri ilk defa araştırmacı tarafından gerçek anlamlı, kısmen mecaz anlamlı ve mecaz anlamlı şeklinde derecelendirilmiştir. Bu derecelendirmeye göre, çeşitli atasözleri kitapları tasnif edilebilir. Özellikle ilkokul ve ortaokul öğrencilerine atasözleri öğretilirken öğrencilere önce gerçek anlamlı sonra kısmen mecaz anlamlı daha sonra mecaz anlamlı atasözleri verilebilir.
