Phonological Phenomena and Laws in Western Azerbaijan and Eastern Anatolian Dialects - Sound Prosthesis, Sound Dropping

Abstract

Phonetic events and laws in modern Azerbaijani Turkish are fundamental not only to Azerbaijani Turkish but to the Turkish language as a whole. Phonological events in modern Azerbaijani Turkish include: increase in voice (prosthesis), loss of voice (elision), numbness (assimilation), sound difference (dissimilation), change in voice position (metathesis). This article discusses prosthesis, hearing loss, and elision, or voice loss. It also discusses raising of vowels and consonants: before, mid-, and at the end of a sound. Vowel and consonant loss: the loss of vowels and consonants before, mid-, and at the end of a sound. According to the speech style of Azerbaijani, two vowels in a syllable or two or more consonants are not used together in a word. When a suffix beginning with a vowel is added to words ending in a vowel, a specific consonant is added between the two vowels, and so on. This is prothesis, increase in voice. When adding a word or suffixes, one of the sounds is dropped. The omission of one or more sounds from a word is called elision. Lowering of the voice occurs in both vowels and consonants; this is called elision, or lowering of the voice. Furthermore, he used Old Turkic in other words and borrowed words from other languages. These are the general laws and developments of the Azerbaijani Turkish language.
