Abstract

Abstract. This article examines the functional characteristics of homonyms in Turkish folk songs, their aesthetic and artistic roles, and their contribution to the semantic and stylistic richness of folk song texts. Drawing on authentic examples from Turkish folk songs, the study explores the semantic potential of homonyms and demonstrates how their strategic deployment enhances poetic expressiveness, maintains rhyme and rhythmic harmony, and elevates the overall aesthetic value of folk poetry.
