Summary/Abstract: This article aims to explore the manifold contributions of Karagöz – the illiterate anti-hero of Ottoman shadow theatre – to language creativity. Customarily, shadow theatre is subsumed in the fields of folklore studies or theatre studies, but this discussion shifts Karagöz into the linguistic limelight.
