Idioms and proverbs, which can be witnessed since the first periods of Turkic, not only reflect the change and intensity of meaning in the language, but also provide in information about the age of the language. These structures, which were used starting from the ancient Turkic period, have been the uses that increase the power of expression effective. Identifiying idioms and proverbs that reflect the language, culture, life and mentality of a society will also make it possible to make many interpretations. Khorezmian-Kipchak Turkic period which is considered as a transition period between Midle Turkic and Chagatai Turkic, is a period in which rich literaryworks were written during this period. It was seen that studies were very limited in determining idioms and proverbs. It is thought that Dr. Yaşar Tokay can fill a huge gap in this field. The present work presented to the scientific world with the name of “Proverbs and Idioms in Khorezmian-Kipchak Turkic with Its Witnesses” by Yaşar Tokay will be tried to be introduced with study.
