Özet:

 The Bozeman scale is the most famous scale of statistical stylistics, and is based on the study of the vocabulary used by the author, and the number of verbs and adjectives in the text. Based on this scale, the ratio of dividing the number of verbs by the number of adjectives indicates its literary or sci-entific style and rationality. Therefore, this study aims to answer the follow-ing questions: How accurate is the Bozeman equation in measuring the lit-erary texts and the emotionality of their authors? How does the style of a sermon differ from the style used in other literary arts? Do the subject and content of the sermon play a role in raising the level of the literary style and emotionality of the preacher? What factors affect the value of the Bozeman scale in political speeches and preaching sermons? What factors affect the value of the Bozeman scale in political speeches and preaching sermons? This study aims to apply this objective scale to sermons and compare the value of the scale in them with the percentages in other literary genres on which similar studies were conducted, such as poetry and letters. It also focuses on the impact of the content of the text on the value of the scale by comparing political speeches and preaching speeches. The study chose a sample of political speeches by Ziyâd b. Ebîh and Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf Al-Thaqafi, and a sample of preaching sermons by Omar bin Abdul Aziz and Al-Hassan Al-Basri, adopting the descriptive statistical analytical approach. The results revealed that the style of sermons is the most literary and emo-tional one among all other literary genres. Besides, preaching sermons sur-pass political speeches based on the value of the Bozeman scale, thus imply-ing that their style employs emotion, conscience, and literary images. In con-trast, political speeches are characterized by a rational style that relies on arguments and proofs.

 İstatistikçi üslupçuluğun en meşhur uygulamasını teşkil eden Bozeman ölçeği, edebiyatçının kullandığı kelime dağarcığının incelenmesini ve metin-de yer alan fiillerin ve sıfatların sayımını gerçekleştirir ve fiil sayısının sıfat sayısına oranını üslubun edebîliğinin veya onun bilimselliğinin ve rasyonel-liğinin bir göstergesi olarak görür. Bu çalışmada şu sorulara yanıt aranmak-tadır: Metinlerin edebîliğini ve yazarının duygusallığını ölçmede Bozeman denklemi ne kadar isabetlidir? Hitapların üslubunun diğer edebî sanatlarda izlenen üsluptan ayrıldığı yönler nelerdir? Hitabın konu ve içeriğinin üslu-bun edebîlik düzeyini ve hatîbin duygusallık seviyesini yükseltmede bir rolü var mıdır? Siyaset ve vaaz hitaplarında Bozeman ölçeğinin değerini etkile-yen faktörler nelerdir? Çalışma, bu nesnel ölçeği hitaplara uygulamayı, on-lardaki bu ölçeğin -benzer çalışmaların yürütüldüğü- şiir, mektup ve makâme gibi diğer edebî türlerde kaydedilen oranlarla karşılaştırılmasını ve bir yandan siyasî konuşmalar arasında, diğer yandan vaaz hitapları arasın-da karşılaştırma yapmak suretiyle metnin içeriğinin bu ölçeğin değerine etki-sini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, Ziyâd b. Ebîh ve Haccâc b. Yûsuf es-Sekafînin hitaplarından birer siyasî hitap örneği ile Ömer b. Abdü-lazîz ve Hasan-ı Basrî nin hitaplarından birer vaaz hitabı örneği seçilmiştir. Çalışma, tanımlayıcı, istatistiksel ve analitik bir yöntem benimsemiştir. Ça-lışmanın ulaştığı belli başlı sonuçlar şunlardır: Hitapların üslubu, diğer tüm edebî türler arasında en edebî ve duygusal olanıdır. Vaaz hitapları, Bo-zeman ölçeğindeki değer bakımından siyasî hitaplardan daha üstündür. Bu şu anlama gelir: siyasî hitaplar, argümanlara ve kanıtlara dayanan akılcı bir üslupla öne çıkarken vaaz hitaplarının üslubu duygu, vicdan ve edebî imge-leri kullanmaktadır.
