BABURNAME ÖZELİNDE BABUR ŞAH’IN METİN KURGUSU, BAĞLAMLA İLGİLİ BAZI DİLBİLİMSEL GÖSTERİMLERİN KULLANIMI

Аннотация

In this study, the structural organization of the text found on folios 272–292 of the India section of Baburname, Babur Shah’s memoir written in the genre of autobiography, is examined in broad outline. Within the scope of the paper, this section has been reread using a method that has been almost never applied in studies conducted to date. This method focuses on the analysis of the contexts of language uses corresponding to what is termed pragmatics in Turkish linguistics (edimbilim), particularly on examining the relationships between sentences and the contexts and situations in which they are used. Our aim in approaching Baburname from the perspective of textual construction is to understand, th presenting the geography in which he lived, and his evaluation and formulation of information. Although Baburname is a historical written text, within a textual construction characteristic of the memoir genre it also reflects features of oral communication. Its short, fluent, simple, sequential, coordinated, and subordinated sentences, as well as its nested, conditional, and kim-relative compound sentences that gain meaning according to context, create rich contextual layers. These features have ensured that Baburname remains a historical work that continues to be read today.
