Özet

Sovyetler Birliği’nin son dönemlerinde Kırgız aşıklık geleneğinin temsilcileriolarak halkça tanınmış olan aşıkların sayısı oldukça azdı. Ancak Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılmasından sonra Kırgızistan’ın bağımsızlığına kavuştuğu ilk yıllardan itibaren Kırgız aşıklık geleneğinin yeniden canlandığını, yeni bir ivme kazandığını görmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada Kırgız aşıklık geleneğindeki bu yeni süreç ile ilgili bilgiler, bu sürecin gelişmesine vesile olan başlıca etmenler ele alınmıştır.Anahtar kelimeleri: aşık, Kırgız aşıklık geleneği, akın, halk edebiyatı

Abstract

The records that are kept in ecclesiastical courts and that have official status are called “Sharia Court Registers” (Şeriye Sicilleri). Since the sharia court registers contain rich and reliable information regarding the social, ethnographic, political, economic, legal, religious, language, place names and person names, etc, of the period, they are among the most important sources of cultural history. The titles and pseudonyms are very important in Turkish culture. Even today, many people are known with pseudonyms. Pseudonym is an element that makes it easier to distinguish someone due to his physical, spiritual, sociological, lineage, occupational, and various other characteristics. The use of pseudonym had an important function for the recognition of individuals in the preceding periods of the official registration system. During analysis of the pseudonyms and titles, the century it belongs and the social context of that century should be taken into consideration. Covering the period between 1805 and 1815, the Sharia Register of İzmit was previously kept in the archives of Topkapı Palace. It is now kept in Ankara National Library with the number 1452. The aim of this study was to determine the titles and pseudonums in the Sharia Court Registery of İzmit, register no 1452 (1805-1815). The identified titles will be analysed. The pseudonyms, which are quite high in number, will be classified as general pseudonyms, religious pseudonyms, pseudonyms that refer to the places of residence, pseudonyms indicating physical characteristics, and occupational/vocational pseudonyms. This material obtained will be examined and evaluated using historical-linguistic methods.Key Words: Pseudonym, Title, İzmit, Şeriye Registry
