Grape, which has an important place among fruit species, is estimated to have over 15.000 species. It is known that there are more than 1200 grape varieties in our country. Since grapes are grown in many regions in Turkey, there are many local grape varieties with different characteristics and aromas. It is inevitable that the language of the lands where this fruit, which has such a deep-rooted history, takes place in the vocabulary. It is quite inevitable that Turkish society, which has grown grapes, used in the treatment of diseases, produced molasses and wine since the Uyghur period, includes grapes in their vocabulary. This richness of Turkish, which has a rich vocabulary in terms of grape names and nomenclatures related to grapes, also shows itself in Turkey Turkish dialects. In Elazig, which is suitable for grape cultivation in terms of climate and soil structure, many unique grape species are seen. Each of these grapes has its own unique name. The dialect of Elazig contains many grape names such as Köhnü, Ağın Kırmızısı, Kore, Ağınar, Ternebi, Zehni, Cevzeni, Hasani, Keşbir, Ağın Beyazı and Şilfoni, especially the famous Öküzgözü and Boğazkere varieties. In this paper, the names of local grape species unique to Elazig Dialect will be determined and classified according to their meanings. In addition, the names of the products made from grape fruit and the terms related to viticulture in Elazig will be revealed. Structured Abstract: Grape is a fruit grown in many places around the world. The homeland of the grape, which has spiral climbing leaves and a deciduous starter fruit, is a large region called Anatolian which includes Turkey and the Caucasus.

The regions where grapes are most famous are: Aydın, Denizli, Elazig, Erzincan, Gaziantep, Izmir, Manisa and Tekirdag. Each region or province has its own grape species. When we look at the studies on Turkey Turkish dialects, they are generally considered as phonology, morphology, vocabulary or dictionary studies. Contrary to these studies, which have become traditional in recent years, research on dialects has been further deepened and studies on the structures in the dialects of Turkey Turkish are progressing by gaining a new dimension. In this regard, it is seen that grapes, which have an important place in the vocabulary of Turkish, and the names associated with it have their own unique usage * Sorumlu Yazar: Arş.
