Abstract

Address forms appear in almost every literary genre or verse. Address forms, which are important elements of the language of poetry, are important in terms of showing the sense and point of view towards what is addressed in terms of the meaning it contains. Thanks to the words and groups of words that make up the address forms, it is possible to determine the poet's understanding of what is addressed.
