AN ATTEMPT ON THE ANALYTICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SCIENTIFIC AND LITERATURE WORKS PUBLISHED IN TURKEY IN THE FIELD OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE AND CHILDREN’S FOLKLORE IN THE TURKISHS WORLD

Abstract

Turkish world; with its culture, literature, literary products, dialects, it creates a great field of study
for scholars and researchers. One of these fields of study is the Turkish World Children’s Literature
and Children’s Folklore, which was formed by the culture, literature and language of Turkish
communities. In the context of children’s literature and children’s folklore, the Turkish world stands before us as
the representative of a rich tradition, both with its poets and writers, with its existing oral and
written literary accumulation, and with all kinds of literary products. In this context, an analytical
bibliography has been created by including scientific and literary works published in Turkey related
to Turkish World Children’s literature and Children’s folklore. Eighteen works identified as a result
of the researches were evaluated under two headings as children’s literature and children’s folklore.
The identified works were examined one by one and information was given about the purpose,
scope and conceptual framework of these studies. Some of the works examined are anthologies,
some of them are examinations, and some of them are both anthologies and examinations. As a
result, while many studies, scientific and literary works related to Turkish world literatures have
been brought to light in Turkey, it has been determined that the studies prepared in the fields of
Turkish World Children’s literature and Children’s folklore are qualified but not numerically
sufficient.
