Idioms are formed of joining of words. In syntax, the places of the idioms cant be changed. Idioms are language elements which are ready to be used during speech and writing. For me by combining of more than one words, idioms are the core of society. From this point, of view, idioms that are accumulations of nations based on long years, expose the philosophical sub-structure of societies in the texts. To have knowledge about socities, firstly checking the idioms that are language input will simplify the researcher's work, develop his point of view. In as much as, if individuals studying on their languages want to deal with common point of view, studying the idioms with an diachronic point of view will be enough. Making social evaluations with critical point of view in recent period Turkish literature and using this especially in his theatre plays, it is inevitably expected that Haldun Taner uses idioms. In this work, cliched statements-idioms, which are used in the 13 theatre plays of Haldun Taner and animate the expression, are examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
