identifying features of traditional forms of literature, for example, meter, the use of repetition, identification of the composer in a refrain, as in halk şiiri veya türküsü, comparing with characteristic features of more contemporary literature, such as poems by Ümit Yaşar Oğuzcan or Atilla İlhan or novels by Ayşe Kulin or Elif Şafak
comparing how concepts such as sadness, joy, humour or regret are conveyed in music, art, drama and poetry across languages and cultures, for example, by comparing the lyrics of popular songs in Turkish and English
