Biliyoruz ki İngilizce fonetik ama Türkçe gayri-fonetik bir dildir. Bu nedenle, bu dilin yazı sisteminde düzenlilik çok düşük bir seviyede bulunmaktadır. Yule (1996) İngiliz dilinin yazı sisteminde sesler ile yazı işaretleri arasında güvenilir bir uygunluğun olmamasını ifade etmektedir. Bu yüzden, sözcüklerin doğru telaffuzlarını bilmek öğrenciler için ciddi bir sorun olabilir. Farklı dillerin imla sistemlerinde yazı ile telaffuz arasında farklı derecede uygunluk bulunmaktadır, mesela İngiliz dilinin imla sistemi çok düzensizdir. Bu sistem imla kurallarını hem de yazı dilinin diğer elemanlarını mesela telaffuz ve büyük harflerle yazmağı içermektedir. Yazım sistemi belli bir yazı kurallarını kullanarak belli bir dili yazmak için standartlaşmış bir sistem demektir. ÖZET Bu çalışmanın amacı İngiliz dilini bir yabancı dil olarak öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin bu dilin yazım (imla) kurallarından kaynaklanan telaffuz sorunlarını araştırmaktır. Key Words: EFL learners, English spelling and pronunciation Öz The results of the study may be useful for teachers trying to teach English to Turkish learners. Another reason of the mispronunciations is the students’ tendencies to make overgeneralizations. Because of the irregularities, students are unsuccessful when they try to guess the correct pronunciation of words. It was found that, among other factors, English spelling played an important role in the students’ mispronunciations. Finally, an interview was conducted with the students, to learn the causes of their mispronunciations. In order to collect data, ten class sessions of the Listening and Pronunciation course were recorded and after the transcription of the data, the mispronounced words were listed by the researcher. In total, 43 students participated in the study and their English proficiency levels ranged from intermediate to upper-intermediate. The participants in this study were freshman students studying in the ELT Department of Dicle University. I chose to exclude homophones, words that sound identical, because as far as I am concerned “air” doesn’t rhyme with “heir” (nor, for that matter, does “air” rhyme with “air”).This study examines the causes of the problems in pronunciation that Turkish EFL learners experience as English language learners.
#English phonetizer trial
From trial and error this seems most sensible. If it has the last 3 IPA characters the same, it’s a rhyme. My initial bodge was to use the datapasta R package, but it couldn’t handle the IPA characters.
#English phonetizer full
Special characters are fiddly, and IPA is almost by definition full of them. I came to this because, as I’ve learnt many times, encoding can be a real pain. This is because phonetizer removed characters, like the comma, but :: translated to () which was perfect as a word separator.Ĭopy the entire text from R, put in phonetizer, then copy the IPA output into Libre Office Writer, then save as a text file with UTF-8 encoding, then read that output back into R. Print as an output in my R console with ‘::’ as a word separator.
This gave me the 3,635 words I wanted to find IPA for, which is much more manageable than the 29,874 individual lines or the 211,430 words. Select only the unique words at the end of a lyric line. Through trial and error with phonetizer on a small subset of words this looked like the best bet. Strip words of all non-alphanumeric characters except for apostrophes.
#English phonetizer code
I did some real code bodging at this step (for a bodging explanation see this Tom Scott video - yes I am aware I have referenced him twice now). Good for them, I guess.Īs an alternative to an IPA API, I found this site phonetizer which has a user interface for inputting english and outputting IPA. It’s one of the services the big Dictionary companies provide now. It turns out if you want a good API, so you can send an English word and it will return the IPA, you have to spend money. As an aside, I wonder if the reason the Co-Op dropped their slogan “good with food” is because it reads like it should rhyme, but doesn’t.Īha! The international phonetic alphabet (IPA)! It tells you how words sound, which is what we’re after really. My first thought was to try matching the end of words, but then the english language isn’t that straight-forward - we would miss that “time” and “rhyme” don’t rhyme, and incorrectly assert that “food” and “good” do rhyme.
