Popis: Metaphors constitute one of the basic elements used in communication, which essentially aims to persuade. When examined in terms of the characteristics they carry, metaphors fall within the realm of implicit meanings. Metaphors are used by individuals within specific contexts. In this context, the use of metaphors aims to concretize abstract concepts in the target person’s mind, thereby strengthening their understanding. Numerous studies encompassing metaphors in communication have been conducted, addressing metaphors from various perspectives. However, research on the use of metaphors by Hacı Bektaş Velî has remained limited in the realm of communication studies. In this study, metaphors used by Hacı Bektaş Velî in his work ‘Makalat,’ specifically in his classifications of individuals as ‘âbid’ (worshipper), ‘zahid’ (ascetic), ‘arif’ (mystic), and ‘muhip’ (lover) concerning the understanding of human existence, are analyzed through the method of critical metaphor analysis. The metaphors used in the study are first classified ontologically and conceptually, and then their usage is evaluated in terms of the meanings they convey. The findings indicate that Hacı Bektaş Velî employed metaphors to concretize abstract concepts and expressions in order to strengthen the meaning of the message he intended to convey and create a more effective resonance in the human mind. In this semantic communication effort, it is observed that ontological and conceptual metaphors are used together. Moreover, it is evident that the metaphors in ‘Makalat’ were consciously selected. Additionally, within the framework of the four-element theory, which is among the theories defining human creation, metaphors involving references to elements such as fire, air, water, and earth are frequently employed.
