    The document discusses transcribing Turkish words into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) format to aid in the teaching of Turkish as a foreign language. It provides examples of over 700 A1-A2 level Turkish words transcribed into IPA, including stress markings. While some IPA symbols differ from standard usage, they are widely accepted. Transcribing more Turkish words in IPA could help learners of different backgrounds but transcription is difficult and time-consuming without specialized software. More collaboration is needed between linguists and dictionary producers to create comprehensive Turkish word lists in IPA at different proficiency levels.

    More than 20 script types in the world: Latin, Chinese,
    Arabic …
    The IPA used for allophonic or phonemic transcription
    The IPA is used more frequently (Pekacar & Dilek,
    2008) to show articulation in symbols
    International Phonetic Association (1999) aims to
    create a ‘consistent way of representing’ spoken
    language
    There are many symbols
    Some are newly created and some obsolete
    Problems with the IPA
    Not accepted everywhere (e.g. The USA)
    Enormous number of symbols
    Difficulty of typing/finding symbols on keyboards
    Difficulty of printing (loss of information due to out-
    of-date printing software)
    Cannot show all articulations within a language (e.g.
    /θ/ by the English word thief is not valid for dialects which
    pronounce the ‘th’ as a labiodental fricative /f/ or a dental
    stop /t̪/)
    Advantage of the IPA
    The IPA chart is free to copy (many hardcopies, interactive
    audio-visual resources)
    Many learners are already familiar with the IPA (from
    English coursebooks and the Latin alphabet)
    Shows stress patterns within a word
    Advantage of the IPA

    (retrieved from http://www.antimoon.com/resources/phonchart2008.pdf, on 21.10.2015,

    More people learn Turkish and
    More studies are carried out
    More people learn Turkish and
    More studies are carried out
    We should take advantage of the IPA while teaching
    Turkish as well
    We need Turkish monolingual dictionaries with IPA
    transcriptions to provide autonomy to TFL learners
    Turkish words are spelled and pronounced the same
    way
    But different learners with different backgrounds need
    a commonly accepted transcribing system
    Amcasıamkasi
    Yıllarındaillarında
    Kuşkus
    Egeece
    Hatayyatay
    KasKıs
    Similar problems occur
    in teaching English too.
    E.g.In Arabic the sound
    /p/ does not exist.
    Therefore, instead of
    /pəˈteɪtəʊ/, they tend to
    say /bəˈteɪtəʊ/
    Similarly
    Pay
    Pill
    Pit
    PROBLEM?
    no studies carried out on transcribing Turkish
    words in the IPA format.
    No corpora to study on (The Britsh National
    Corpus (BNC))
    The BNC includes around 100 million samples from various
    different sources. Linguists from all over the world has the
    privilege to access the corpus to study concordances.
    A1-A2 words from Açık’s list*
    A phonetic alphabet with selected symbols adopted

    (downloadable from:
    http://turkoloji.cu.edu.tr/pdf/fatma_acil_temel_turkce_soz_dagarcigi.pdf,
    13.11.2015, 11.30)
    A phonetic alphabet with selected symbols adopted
    About 700 words transcribed into the IPA
    While 38 of the symbols overlap with the IPA symbols,
    only four of the symbols differ from widely used IPA
    symbols which are /ɟ/ for ‘g’ as in ‘güzel’, but not
    ‘gazete’; /ɣ/ for ‘ğ’ as in ‘doğa’; /ɫ/ as in ‘lale’ but not
    ‘kalın’, /ʊ̈/ as in ‘üzüm’.
    These symbols are also among widely accepted types
    adopted by different sources.
    /θ/ and /ð/ symbols were not used as they do not have
    any corresponding sounds in Turkish.
    Each word is transcribed in such a way that learners of TFL
    are able to see each syllable split from eachother by (.) sign.
    Another conducive aspect of the transcribed list is that
    these learners can see the stress pattern in the words with
    (') symbol.
    e.g.:
    /'ʌ.dʒʌ.ba:/ for ‘acaba’
    The (-) sign shows that the word is the root of a verb.
    e.g.:
    /ce'sɪl-/ for ‘kesil-’
    Needs developing by:
    Adding more words
    Adding more levels
    Adding more features such as writing the parts of
    speech of each word
    Adding more articulative options for words if needed
    For both native learners and TFLs
    Useful for:
    The symbols are TFL and ELT learners at the same
    time
    3.3. The List of A1-A2 Turkish Words in the IPA Format

    There are examples from over 700 words in three columns in the list below. The IPA transcription
    of the words can be seen on their left. They are ordered alphabetically. The (-) sign shows that the
    word is the root of a verb.

    /'ʌ.dʒʌ.ba:/ acaba /ɟɪ'bɪ/ gibi /cen'dɪ/ kendi

    /ʌh jʌ'zək/ ah yazık /ɟœ're/ göre /cent/ kent

    /a:'jɪt/ ait /hʌ'lʌ/ hala /ces-/ kes-

    /ʌl-/ al- /'hʌn.ɟɪ/ hangi /ce'sɪl-/ kesil-

    /ʌlt/ alt /'hʌ.nɪ/ hani /ce'sɪn/ kesin

    /'ʌ.mʌ/ ama /'hʌt.ta:/ hatta /ce'jɪf/ keyif

    /'ʌn.dʒʌk/ ancak /hem/ hem /cez/ kez

    /ʌ.rʌ.'sə/ arası /'he.men/ hemen /kəl-/ kıl-

    /'ʌr.tək/ artık /'he.nʊ̈z/ henüz /kə'rəl-/ kırıl-

    /'ʌs.lʌ/ asla /'hep.sɪ/ hepsi /kər.mə'zə/ kırmızı

    /ʌ.ʃʌ'ɣə/ aşağı /her/ her /kə'sʌ/ kısa

    /ʌ.ʃə'rə/ aşırı /'her ɟʊ̈n/ her gün /kə'sʌ.dʒʌ/ kısaca

    /ʌj'rə.dʒʌ/ ayrıca /'her ʃej/ her şey /kə'səm/ kısım

    /bʌʃ'kʌ/ başka /her'hʌn.ɟɪ bɪ'rɪ/ herhangi biri /kə'jə/ kıyı

    /'ba:.zen/ bazen /'her.ces/ herkes /kəz-/ kız-

    /'beɫ.cɪ/ belki /hɪtʃ/ hiç /ci:/ ki


    It is suggested that
    transcription softwares be created to ease the burden
    of converting words into phonetic symbols. Despite
    the enormous number of softwares created to
    overcome this problem for English words, there are no
    programs alike to speed up the transcription process
    for Turkish words. Related institutes in the field of TFL
    may support programmers to facilitate creation of
    more comprehensive list of words transcribed.
    Another important point is that scholars studying the
    corpus of Turkish language should collaborate to
    create lists of words according to CEFR levels as it was
    observed that there are few word lists to be based on to
    transcribe into the IPA format.

    If professional producers of monolingual Turkish


    dictionaries utilize the IPA transcriptions as well, it
    will act as an accelerative force leading to further
    studies in this area.
