1960-1980 Yılları Arası Yeşilçam Dönemi Türk Sinemasında Argo Söylemi: Türkân Şoray Filmleri Örneklemi

Abstract

The Ottoman Empire's domination in a large geography and the coexistence of different cultures in the world have enabled the Turkish Argos to have a rich structure. However, the fact that the users are from the lower layers of the people, because the culture they are in is rough according to the standard language, it is called kayış dili, lisan-ı hezele, lisan-ı erâzil by the public. Along with that, in order to bring out the slang produced with the aim of concealing from the third parties and bring it to the Turkish language, studies of compilation and lexicography have been carried out.

The Turkish cinema has made an effort to give the audience the character of being a character with the social realism movement ,and with this aim appropriate forms of speech have been formed for the community layer in which the characters belong. For example, a burglar is provided with the ability to speak with a Turkish language that has slang words and idioms instead of pure, argodaness, standard Turkish. In addition, because of the humor and metaphor in slang, there's often referred to slang in comedy films.

In order to examine the use of the slang in the cinema, the films in which Türkan Şoray played a part between the years 1960-1980 were chosen. Türkan Şoray films were preferred as a sample because Şoray has played a role in many different kinds of film from melodram to comedy, and worked with directors from different cultures. In this context of this thesis, 159 films in which Şoray played a role were examined and the meaning of the words used in the films were determined besides the words which are not in the dictionaries but used as slang in the film. These words are indicated by the "*" sign. While the meanings of the detected words were given, Hulki Aktunç-Büyük Argo Dictionary (with witnesses), which was selected as the main source, was used and different sources were searched for words not in Aktunç's work. The types of movies examined, the slang discography of the films, and the distribution of slang discs by film genres, genres and status are shown graphically.
