Özet
Proverbs are the cliched sayings, which represent the rules, practices, life styles, life philosophies, traditions and morals of a nation. These anonymus sayings, which are the products of ancestors' experiences, have reached today from centuries ago within the context of the oral and written culture. The factors of which the proverbs have been surviving for centruies are its' contents of advise and warning de facto judgements against dilemmas and impressive styles. This kind of style has committed these to memories, thus, prevented to be forgotten. Usage of the indirect expressions and narrative arts (analogy, oxymoron, personification, metaphor and metonymia) are the strongest factors of this impressive style. One of the narrative arts used in the proverbs is the metaphor. Function of the metaphor in the proverbs is to crystalllize the situation, event or notion expressed, in other words, to reify these. In this study, the metaphors and kinds of them existing in Nigde proverbs identified through written documents are studied. As a result of the study, it is found out that ontological metaphors are the ones that are most frequently used in Nigde proverbs and that they take on the concretization function.
