Abstract: Turkish classical works have always maintained their place in the publishing sector. In recent years, interest in classical Turkish novels has increased in parallel with the increasing tendency towards publications with historical content in society. Publishing houses experienced in classical work publishing aim to meet reader expectations with the professional editorial services they offer. In this context, works from old periods are brought together with today's readers because of special processes: Thanks to intralingual translation applications, classical Turkish novels are simplified and published as texts in which current language usage gains importance. In this context, intralingual translation, which functions as a method of adapting old language usage to the present, is supported by paratextual content. Paratextual selection, which varies according to publishing house preferences, has an important function in the reprinting of old works: The information provided through paratexts contributes to the reception process of the work from old periods. Publishing houses aim to help today's readers correctly comprehend the relevant work from a broad perspective by including texts related to the original work. Based on this, the following study will comparatively describe the intralingual translation services offered by different publishing houses in the name of professional publishing. The importance of paratexts in the context of intralingual translation will be underlined through a representatively selected database. Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the ongoing field discussions in the context of intralingual translation in the context of correct translation studies from the applications in the publishing market. Key words: Turkish literature classics, intralingual translation, translation methods, paratext, translation history, publishing house
