Abstract

XV. yy. late XVI. yy. Firdevsî-i Rumî , who lived at the beginning of the year, produced many works. The most important of these is Süleyman-nâme-i Kebir, which consists of the 81st volume. In this study, we identified the archaic/antiquated words in the 50th volume. The words used in ancient times that have fallen out of the spoken and written language are called archaic words. Since the Turkish language is spread over a very wide geography, it is inevitable that the words will change in terms of sound and shape. A large number of archaic words that we have identified in the work show the richness of the Turkish language and culture. These detected words are extremely important in terms of structural science.There are many elements of Turkish language and culture in this work. The work has an encyclopedic content in general. Different events and stories are told in the work. The language of the work is plain, clear and plain in general, excluding the Arabic-Persian phrases. There are many archaic words in Süleymanname. But we conducted our analysis based on only forty words. We discussed the meanings of these words and their changes in the historical process in the context of the semantic vocabulary of Turkish. At the same time, the change of these archaic words in time, their use in different derivatives are explained. Examples suitable for these uses are given in Süleyman-nâme. Firdevsî-i Rumî adhered to the tradition of linguistic features of Old Anatolian Turkish in Süleyman-nâme. It reflected Turkish culture and traditions. Therefore, archaic elements are frequently used in his work. Some of these archaic words are: ağıllanmak, delim, dükeli, depsermek, söyünmek, öküş, kığırmak, yunmak…
