Abstract
In modern times, we face otherization as the opposite of what is normal in terms of social and cultural dimensions. Disabled people are otherized in many cases because of their differentness from normal and able-bodied people who are accepted as normal in the modern world. This situation causes othering, isolation and as a result otherization of disabled people. In this study, language, which is one of the cultural fields in which being disabled is otherized, will be examined in terms of proverbs and idioms. Language is one of the most efficient factors in transmitting culture from one generation to another. Proverbs and idioms are important mechanisms in transmission function of language. In this sense, socio-cultural transition which proverbs and idioms create is an efficient field in highlighting the perception of being disabled in society. The aim of this study is to explain that disability has a social basis by using proverbs and idioms as the means of cultural transfer.
