PHONETIC ANNOTATION OF DIALECT UNITS IN THE UZBEK LANGUAGE DIALECTAL CORPUS (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE DIALECT OF THE JARQORGAN DISTRICT)
Abstract
This study examines the issues of phonetic annotation of Jarkurgan district dialect units within the dialectal corpus of the Uzbek language. Scientific views on the study of the phonetic features of dialects in Uzbek dialectology are analyzed, and a linguistic description of the phonetic changes observed in the Jarkurgan dialect is given. The theoretical and practical aspects of phonetic annotation models used in world dialectal corpora are also highlighted. The main part of the research is devoted to the development of linguistic and software for the phonetic annotation of Jarkurgan dialect materials in the Uzbek dialectal corpus. The corpus's search engine, the system of extralinguistic parameters, phonetic tagging criteria, and annotation processes implemented in the Google Colab environment are described. The research results serve as a methodological basis for implementing corpus technologies in Uzbek dialectology, digitizing dialectal materials, and automating phonetic research.
