description The aging process which begins with birth and continues until death, has been evaluated by the cultures in various forms of meanings at different times. Turkish frame of mind generally imposes some requirements on age scales of people and it expects those people to fulfill these requirements. This thought system has found a wide place in the Turkish language. Stereotyped statements such as proverbs, idioms and apothegms in Turkish expect people to face their ages and elderliness. In this study, firstly, the place of elderliness in terms of dominant mindset in Turkey is exhibited with the main lines; then, the concept of confrontation which is seen an important notion in the process of accepting the changes experienced by the individual depending on aging is explained. The study continues with analysis of examples selected from proverbs, idioms, and apothegms in Turkish in the context of confrontation with elderliness. As a result of this study, it is obtained a result that elderliness is seen as a process that individuals need to confront, and that reflection of the thought to the language contributes to the individual’s acceptance of this process psychologically.
