Özet
Folk songs are the depths of memory of Turkish society. Thousands of years of accumulation, falsehood, beliefs, traditions, customs, traditions, customs, philosophy, art, literature, folk law, folk economy, folk calendar, oral culture products have found a place in folk songs. In Tanpınar's words, “Those who want to write the novel of Anatolia must go back to these folk songs”. This wide universe of folk songs is also an important cultural heritage reflecting the Turkish society's understanding of health and medicine. This article aims to analyze the terms such as “patient”, “hospital”, “physician”, “physician”, “doctor”, “wound”, “healing”, “medicine” and “ointment” in folk songs. It will examine how these terms are used to express both physical ailments and emotional pain. Furthermore, it will evaluate how physicians and other health-related elements are represented in folk songs. In this way, the cultural perspective of Turkish people on health and medicine through folk songs will be better understood. In this study, how health-related concepts are reflected in folk songs will be examined through examples in TRT Turkish Folk Music repertoire. For this purpose, the corpus on the website Repertükül was taken as a basis and repertoire numbers were used as reference. A certain number of texts from hundreds of sample folk song texts in the corpus, where concepts such as illness and hospital; physician, physician, lokman physician and doctor; wound; ointment, medicine and healing were scanned, were included and it was evaluated that the conclusion of the study would not change when the examples that could not be included here were analyzed. The analysis of the folk songs is based on the author's personal judgment and may therefore contain errors or exceptions. Therefore, it should not be assumed that the interpretations presented are absolutely accurate.
