@article{2017,title={A REVIEW ON PLANT NAMES USED IN THRACIAN DIALECTS},abstractNode={From antiquity to present day mankind has felt the need to give various names to the animals and plants that are around them. They generally tried to match these names by the use of concrete terms in the nature (based on colour, shape, functionality, etc.). The emergence of Turkish names of plants is a process that starts with the first existence of language and continues until today. Thracian region, which is our research field, has been an important agricultural basin in all periods of history. It has also maintained its position as one of the world's most important regions in terms of forest tree texture. Both the eastern (Turkey Thrace) and the western (Greek and Bulgarian Thrace) parts of the region are similar in terms of vegetation and agricultural functionality. Naturally, the Turkish communities living in the region are parallel to this geographical similarity in terms of their use in language, plant names and vocabulary. In this study, there are both semantic and structural classifications of names used by Turks living in the Thrace region, even though they use the same language features richly within the borders of three different countries.},author={Muharrem ÖZDEN},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
