OBSERVATIONS ON THE SYSTEM OF TURKISH PERSONAL NAMES WITH COMPONENT „COLLECTION OF COLOR IN THE COMPOSITIONˮ

Abstract

Turkish is rich in colour terms. Despite the wealth of such terms in Turkish, studies into their linguistic functions and roles in coining and giving proper names are relatively new and inadequate. The use of personal name has an important function in terms of people, society and public administration. Names gain an identity to individuals, protect the culture of society,and serve public administration in maintaining relationship with individuals. This study aims to explore the place of colour terms in onomastics and their function in giving proper names in Turkish.
