THE PROBLEM OF LIVING TURKISH IN THE NOVEL OF METİN SAVAŞ’S ZEMHERİ KUYUSU
Novel has not been able to stay away from social issues since it deals with the person who is a social entity. In this respect, novels are mirrors that clearly reflect the social and individual structure of the periods they deal with in different ways. One of the novels reflecting the period when it was written is Metin Savaş's Zemheri Kuyusu. In this postmodern novel published in 2005, the author addressed many political, religious, social and cultural issues. One of the prominent issues that the author addressed is the issue of living Turkish. Because during history many discussions have been made about which words will be accepted in Turkish and many different views have been put forward. Some of these opinions, which try to determine the limits of the language, are accepted by society and some of them are criticized. This article examines how these language discussions are handled in a novel through the analysis of Zemheri Kuyusu sample. Thus, both the role of language discussions in society and the determination, criticism and proposals of Metin Savaş on language were tried to be determined.
