Summary/Abstract: Hyperbole (Exaggeration / Exaggeration) can be defined in the most general terms as a way of speaking or writing something better, more strikingly than it is. In this study, firstly, information is given about the concept of hyperbola and its different forms in the literature, and the theoretical dimensions of the use of the concept in the West both in theoretical and literary contexts and on corpus-based studies are tried to be introduced. In this context, Tuvan heroic epics were analyzed within the framework of the data obtained. Ergun - Aça (2004), Tuvan Heroic Epics I; Ergun - Aça (2005), Heroic Epics of Tuvan II; Arıkoğlu - Borbaanay (2007), Epics of Tuvan; Data were collected from the texts of Arçın (2014), Tuvan Epics 2: Haan-Tögüldür by sampling method. In this respect, a qualitative method was applied in the study. In the study, a model suitable for the structure of Turkish is proposed as an alternative to the modeling of hyperbola approaches in the West. As a result, hyperbolas are presented with variations in accordance with the general structure of Turkish according to the data in the Tuvan Turkish epic texts and are exemplified under 4 titles: 1. Objective Hyperbolas 2. Quantitative Hyperboles 3. Qualitative Hyperboles 4. Indicative Hyperbolas.
