Abstract: (309 Views)
Shahriar's poetic work is inspired by the picturesque landscapes of Azerbaijan. Given Azerbaijan's historical reputation for its fertile soil conducive to agriculture and lush scenery, which have fostered a flourishing livestock industry and regional economy, the Heydar Baba collection showcases a variety of Azerbaijani terms and expressions specific to agriculture, animal husbandry, and avian life. This descriptive-analytical study, grounded in library research and oral literature, delves into the agricultural, animal husbandry, and avian vocabulary found in the Heydar Baba collection. The findings illustrate Shahriar's deep connection with nature, reflected in his extensive use of terminology related to these fields. Additionally, the geographic location of Azerbaijan has made agricultural and animal husbandry practices, including poultry farming and bird breeding, significant aspects of the region, with even the natural landscape influencing the nomenclature of rivers and mountains, as well as children's toys inspired by agriculture and animal husbandries, such as Alak-dulak, Qab-bazi, and Tokhm-morgh Bazi. Moreover, a lexical analysis reveals that some words have transcended literary boundaries, with certain terms long circulated among Azerbaijani speakers, having Persian origins and being distorted Persian terms like Baqcha, Yunja, Zemi, Gul, Dasteh Gool, Alcha, Armut, Tokhm, Tuleh, Ghaz, Qirqi, Bildirchin, Durna, and Urdak. Others, such as Meviz, Bagh, Gardekan, and Gulbesar, retain their Persian form. This study also highlights the metaphorical use of certain words, adding layers of meaning through similes, metaphors, or allusions, exemplified by Gulbesar. Lastly, the influence of nature is evident in the derivation of place names and even vegetables, like Qarah Kul, Qara Cheman, Dashli Bulakh, and Bulagh Uti.
