Abstract :This study quantitatively examines three types of addressing forms in the Quran: the use of the two markers \"ya\", and \"ya ayyuha\", and addressing through zero morphology. The results indicate that the most commonly used marker is \"ya\", followed by \"ya ayyuha.\" Zero morphology, on the other hand, is observed as the least frequent form of addressing. Specifically, \"Ya ayyuha l-latheena amanuu\" (O believers), \"rabbi\" (O my Lord), and \"rabbana\" (O our Lord) are the most frequently encountered phrases of addressing in the Quran. Additionally, by analyzing the linguistic structures of vocative messages, it has been apparent that the imperative is the most prevalent structure, followed by declaratives and interrogatives.Keywords : Hitap biçimleri, Kuran, Hitap edatları, Hitap mesajları
