Abstract

One of the criticized aspects of the tradition of the Classical Turkish Poetry is its constantly repeating images, perpetually recurrent symbols and its being a closed universe each of which sides responding to each other and the restricted semantic space and the traditionally-determined poetry perception developed in a limited area all of which are essentially the cases that must re-thought from two perspectives. The first is how poets can acquire originality in a field where there are such limited and continuous repeats; the second one, which is more vital in our discussion, whether this case is influential in the communication between the poet and the reader/listener. These limitations, similarities, repetitions in the Classical Turkish Poetry have created a certain semantic field with a certain referent area and boundaries. This can be said to have a facilitating effect on the communication between the poet and the reader who has the basic knowledge about the field. Accordingly, in this poetry tradition, to trace the meaning in the connotation area that the poet creates, to find what s/he has intended, to share the feelings s/he conceals and in this sense, acquire a unity of thought and emotion can be said to be much easier.
