Türk Edebiyatında Kıssadan Hisse Öyküler. Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyatbilim ve Tipolojik Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Turkish moral stories are one of the important products of Turkish folk literature. However, those stories are not always called with the same names by the Turkish literature scientists but with different names. It is seen that they are sometimes called jokes, anecdotes, or parables according to the context. One of the main reasons of this concept confusions is that all short stories, which are taught for instructive aims in Turkish literature science, are mostly called ‘jokes’ and these stories are given with educational objectives. The aim of this research, before all, is to introduce the moral stories in the example of the anonymous stories with the comparative literature science and literature theories and to explain the reasons of insufficient interest given by the literature scientists to the mentioned stories.
