Abstract
In this study, the perception of the graduate students towards Turkish was tried to be determined through metaphor. This study was conducted using the phenomenology pattern within the framework of qualitative research approach. The study group consisted of 49 graduate students studying in different departments of various universities during the 2017–2018 academic year. Metaphors related to Turkish were analysed by content analysis technique within the qualitative research approach. The metaphors created by the participants were analysed in terms of their common features, and they were collected in seven categories as “being indispensable, valuable, rooted, enlightening, unifying, reliable and unique” in the positive perception category for Turkish. When the findings of the study were examined, it was seen that participants had a positive perception (97.9%) on the Turkish side, and very few (21%) perceived it as difficult.
