Eserleriyle

Eserleriyle is a Turkish linguistic term formed from the noun eser (work), the plural possessive suffix -leri indicating “his/her/its works,” and the instrumental suffix -yle meaning “with” or “by means of.” The phrase literally translates to “with his/her works” and is used to express means, manner, or attribution related to a person’s oeuvre.

In usage, eserleriyle denotes that something is achieved, described, or understood through a person’s works, or that a person is known by or through those works. It is typically used with a subject that is the creator or authority whose works serve as evidence or means.

Examples: “O, eserleriyle tanınan bir yazar” (a writer known by his works). “Sanatçı, eserleriyle konuşur” (the artist speaks through his works). “Bu film, yönetmenin eserleriyle öne çıkar” (this film stands out through the director’s works). The phrase is common in literary criticism, journalism, and biographical writing to highlight the impact of a person’s oeuvre.

Notes: It is not a proper noun; it is a grammatical construction. It contrasts with forms that mean “in/through the works”—for example, eserlerde or eserleri üzerinde. It often appears in adjectival phrases such as eserleriyle tanınan, eserleriyle bilinen, eserleriyle öne çıkan.
