“…Sonuç olarak, Türkçe sesletim çalışmalarında kullanılan örnek metin Rüzgâr ile Güneş (Zimmer ve Orgun, 1992) olmuştur. İngilizce alan yazında son yıllarda 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'-Yalancı Çoban (Deterding, 2006) yaygın olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.…”

“…Türkçe'nin sesbilgisi tanımının yapıldığı çalışmalara baktığımızda da bu metinlerin Türkçeleştirilmiş versiyonunun kullanıldığına rastlamaktayız (Bkz, Zimmer ve Orgun, 1992). Zimmer ve Orgun (1992) Rüzgâr ile Güneş metnini kullanarak Türkçedeki seslerin sesbirim betimlemelerini yapmıştır. Deterding (2006) çalışmasında bu metnin İngilizcenin sesbilgisi açısından yeterli örnekleri içermediğini tartışarak alternatif bir metin önermiş ve bu metin (Yalancı Çoban) son yıllarda yapılan İngilizce sesbilgisi çalışmalarında yaygın olarak kullanılmıştır.…”

Bu çalışmada sesbilim araştırmalarında yaygın olarak kullanılan iki İngilizce metnin Türkçe karşılıkları ve bu metinlerin Türkçenin ses yapısı göz önünde bulundurularak sesbilim deneyleri açısından uygunluğu değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, Yalancı Çoban metninin Rüzgâr ile Güneş metnine göre kısmen daha kapsamlı bir metin alternatifi sunmakla birlikte, Türkçenin kendine has sesbilgisi özelliklerinden ötürü daha kapsamlı bir metin ihtiyacının gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Sesbilim özelliklerini kapsayan genel bir metnin sesbilim araştırmalarında kullanılması ve yaygınlaştırılması, Türkçe sesbilim çalışmalarının karşılaştırılabilirliğini de artıracaktır. Sonuçlar, kapsamlı bir metinde Türkçenin ses yapısı bilgilerinden olması gereken özellikleri sıralayarak oluşturulacak bir metin veya alternatif metinler ihtiyacının altını çizmektedir.

“…According to Altmann (2006), Turkish speakers have difficulty with English stress timing and unstress. Word stress is usually on the final syllable but may be moved to penultimate for morphological reasons (Zimmer & Orgun, 1992) so irregular English stress may be a problem. Demirezen (2016) also found that coarticulation is a serious problem for Turkish learners.…”

Migrant Pronunciation: What do Employers find Acceptable?

<p>Many migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds need to look for unskilled and low-skilled work in a range of industries in New Zealand. A number of barriers to employment have been identified, amongst which are numerous reports of migrants’ difficulties with English language. As many of these migrants speak languages which are very different from English they often have accents which native speakers find unfamiliar or hard to understand. The aim of this thesis was to identify which features of migrant pronunciation are more or less acceptable to employers, so that ESOL professionals can assist migrants more effectively when learning English. In my literature review, I begin by placing the need for pronunciation teaching in the context of New Zealand’s rapidly increasing ethnic and language diversity, and the barriers to migrant employment. I then describe how proficiency in pronunciation is measured, and how acceptability fits in to these measurements. In the following chapter I discuss what predictions can be made about the features which are likely to cause pronunciation difficulties for current groups of learners. Finally, I review research on the main levels of pronunciation (segmental, prosody and fluency) and how these can be expected to predict Acceptability. My research questions were: 1. Does pronunciation affect employers’ assessments of the acceptability of migrants for employment? 2. If so, which pronunciation features are the strongest predictors of the assessment? 3. Are there other employer or speaker factors which affect employer ratings of accept-ability? To address these questions, I obtained speech samples from 40 male and female migrants from a range of L1s. These were rated through an online survey by employers or human resource managers (n=95) from industries employing low-skilled workers in the main centres around New Zealand. In addition, ratings of the speakers’ pronunciation features were obtained from Experienced Raters to use as a baseline for analysis. The data from the online survey was then analysed to determine which features predicted the employers’ acceptability ratings. Three factors comprising a wide range of pronunciation features, segmental and suprasegmental (the latter divided into prosodic and fluency), were found to be highly significant in the employers’ ratings of acceptability, while most other factors were not. However, parts of the survey found that acceptability was significantly influenced by the employers’ assessment of whether the speaker was a hard worker, and by employers’ judgements about some of the speakers’ pronunciation features. In addition, judgements of acceptability differed from those of the other global measures of intelligibility, comprehensibility and accentedness, leading to a re-evaluation of what the ultimate goal of pronunciation teaching should be. While the Intelligibility Principle has been emphasised recently, it does not acknowledge the contextual nature of communication. This thesis concludes that Acceptability is a more useful goal for language learners, and that this can be achieved by including all levels of pronunciation including fluency. This thesis proposes that ESOL pronunciation programmes, which typically focus on developing intelligibility through segmental and some prosodic features, also need to meet acceptability standards by including fluency features from the earliest stages, such as appropriate use of Pausing, Variety, and Smoothness.</p>
