In this study were used well-known resources in this field, including well-known Turkish dictionaries as the Dictionary of Turkish Language Institute field and other resources related to these categories. At the end of the study, it was observed that the author used such words intensely in this novel and that they were listed as “public language”, “old language”, “slang”, “rude speech”, “cuss words” and “offerless speech” in the order of their frequency. A total of 322 words in these six categories were identified in the work. The fact that such words are so many in the work shows that the writer aims to write a more realistic novel by reflecting their vocabulary to his work, not just to deal with ordinary people.
