Türkçe Sözlüklerin Sözcük Vurgusu Bakımından Karşılaştırılması
Comparison of Turkish Dictionaries in Terms of Word Stress

Summary/Abstract: In Turkish grammar books and pronunciation dictionaries, it is stated that the word stress in Turkish is usually in the last syllable and there are sometimes inconsistencies in the examples given for the exceptions. This situation causes dictionary users, especially learners Turkish as foreign language, to experience conflicts. In this study, it is aimed to determine consistency of Turkish words in terms of emphasis according to word types. In the research in which descriptive method was used, scanning model “aiming to describe an existing state as it has existed” was used. The sample of the study consists of 300 simple, 100 derivative and 100 compound word with more than 500 syllables. It is considered that these words are found in TDK Turkish Dictionary (TS), Audio Turkish Dictionary (STS) and Spoken Language and Dictionary of Turkish Articulation (KDTSS) and to be one of the most frequent words in the Written Turkish Word Frequency Dictionary. Articulations of the words with accent places in ”KDTSS” and “TS” were downloaded and recorded from STS. The recorded articulations were analyzed in terms of fundamental frequency (F0) with Praat 6.0.12 program and the stress of the words were determined at the level of the syllable. The results of the study showed that the consistency rate of the three dictionaries was low (45.8%). In addition, it has been revealed that there are pronunciation errors in STS in terms of accent.
