Title Of Article :
Ahmet Vefik Paşa and His Contributionsto Turkish Language
Abstract :
Ahmet Vefik Paşa is one of the important figures of his time in terms of both official government duties he undertook and his attitudes towards Turkish language, as well as works he published about Turkish language.Contrary to other contemporary dictiona-ries of the time, Ahmet Vefik Paşa included Turkish words in Lehce-i Osmani along with Arabic and Persian words. In Zor Nik}hı, he did not hold back his sarcastic critisism of contemporary intellectuals’ attitude towards language. In Zoraki Tabip, he used the diffe-rence between his contemporaries’ heavy science language and daily language as a comedic element and thereby set an example for the future generations by showing his sensitivity for our language.In this study, we briefly touched upon Ahmet Vefik Paşa’s life and disscussed his contributions to theTurkish language. We then introduced his works on Turkish langua-ge and gave information about these works.
