t>k, d>g Sound Change in Halicz-Lutsk Karaim Dialect and its Opposite Version in Urum Turkish

Abstract

Phonetics (phonics); It is one of the sub-branches of linguistics that examines the vocal organs, the structure of the sounds, the place and form of the sound. With phonetics, the states of the sounds according to their origins and forms are divided into certain schemes, strings and symbols, and their place in the language is determined. With phonology, the changes that these defined sounds go through and the sound rules that emerge as a result of these changes are examined. Most of the changes that occur are caused by the convergence of sounds according to the place of origin or the way of their output, according to the law of least effort in the language. Sound changes in Turkic languages have commonalities with few exceptions. However, the t>k, d>g change that occurs before /i/ in the Halich-Lutsk dialect of Karaite Turkish is distinctive among other Turkish dialects. This kind of sound change is also found in Austronesian languages in world languages. The opposite situation of this sound change in the direction of k>t, g>d is found in the language of Urum Turks who have Oghuz-Kipchak language features. In this study, t>k, d>g / k>t, g>d sound changes were examined in two main groups. In the first part, the change in the Halich-Lutsk dialect is presented in the table in comparison with Turkey Turkish and other Karay dialects: til-kil (language), tiyermen-kiyirmen (mill), tilek-kilek (wish), tivil-givil (not), kindiz-kingiz (daytime) etc. This type of sound feature can be found in the Austronesian language family such as Hawaiian, Somoan, Javanese, etc. Since it is also seen in other languages, examples from these languages are also included in the first part of the study. The second part of the article consists of the comparative analysis of Urum Turkish samples, in which the k>t, g>d change reflecting the opposite feature of this change is observed: t'eçe (gece/night), t'elin (gelin/bride), d'ibik (gibi/like), del- (gel-/come), t'ene (yine/again) etc. Since this type of change is also seen in Northeastern Anatolian dialects and especially in the mani (Turkish poem) texts collected by Räsenen (dizli?gizli/hidden, dibi-gibi/ like, iti-iki/two), and in children's language (gel-del/come, git-dit/go, koy-toy/put, etc.), the lower These examples are also mentioned in the titles. © Istanbul Universitesi.
