Özet:

 From ancient civilizations to the present, the snake motif is seen in the mythologies and beliefs of nations. Since the snake lives underground, changes its skin, and also has both poison and antidote, it has a dualistic structure. This function and representation of the snake is dominant in Kurdish mythology and belief system, as in many civilizations. The snake has a dualistic structure in Kurdish mythology and belief system, and it has both positive and negative features at the same time. Although ancient belief systems and mythology do not have a direct effect on the lives of societies over time, they indirectly affect peoples lifestyles, beliefs and thought structures. These features show their effects in language, idioms, proverbs and especially in folkloric texts. Tales from folkloric texts reflect the perspectives, thought structures and belief systems of societies. The effects of mythology and beliefs are also generally seen in tales. The snake motif also has an important place in Kırmancki Zazaki tales and this motif has different functions in tales. In this study, we tried to show the function and representation of the snake motif in Zazaki tales. How is the dualistic structure of the snake reflected in Zazaki tales? How are the features of the snake motif, such as friend-enemy; healing-poisoning; destroying-creating and renewing, processed in Zazaki tales due to its dualistic structure? What is the function of the snake in the plot of tales? In this study, we tried to find answers to these questions within the framework of three subheadings.

 Eski medeniyetlerden günümüze yılan motifi milletlerin mitoloji ve inançlarında görülmektedir. Yılan, yeraltında yaşadığından, gömlek değiştirdiğinden, aynı zamanda kendisinde hem zehri hem de panzehri bulundurduğundan düalist bir yapıya sahiptir. Yılanın bu işlev ve temsiliyeti birçok medeniyet gibi Kürt mitolojisi ve inanç sisteminde de baskın bir şekilde görülmektedir. Yılan, Kürt mitolojisi ve inanç sisteminde de düalist bir yapı sergiler ki aynı zamanda hem pozitif hem de negatif özelliklere sahiptir. Eski inanç sistemleri ve mitoloji zaman içerisinde toplumların yaşamında doğrudan bir etkiye sahip olmasa da dolaylı yollardan insanların yaşam şekilleri, inanç ve düşünce yapılarını etkilerler. Bu özellikler dil, deyim, atasözleri ve bilhassa folklorik metinlerde etkisini göstermektedir. Folklorik metinlerden masallar; toplumların bakış açıları, düşünce yapıları ve inanç sistemlerini yansıtırlar. Masallarda genellikle mitoloji ve inançların etkileri de görülmektedir. Kırmancki Zazaca masallarda da yılan motifi önemli bir yer tutmaktadır ve masallarda bu motif farklı işlevlere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Zazaca masallarda yılan motifinin işlev ve temsiliyetini göstermeye çalıştık. Yılanın düalist yapısı Zazaca masallara nasıl yansımıştır? Yılan motifinin düalist yapısından kaynaklı, dost-düşman; şifa verici- zehirleyen; yok eden-yaratıp yenileyen gibi özellikleri Zazaca masallarda nasıl işlenmiştir? Masalların kurgusunda yılan nasıl bir işleve sahiptir? Bu çalışmada üç alt başlık çerçevesinde bu sorulara cevaplar aramaya çalıştık.
