Dear all,
I wonder whether anybody knows a Turkish corpus / lexical database which shows the stress of lexical items. I am aware of TELL project; however, stress is not encoded in the current version.
Currently I am working on stress pattern of lexical items in Turkish; unfortunately, the corpora I know do not indicate any information about stress. I am trying to compile data by using a dictionary; however, I realized that information about stress there is not complete and also not consistent. I would be really happy to hear any suggestions / ideas.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Hande,
I worked on a similar issue using TELL database and I found that stress marks are only displayed if your search string contains them. So, for example, if you enter a' in the citation search field, it will give you all words with a stressed a in them.
Unfortunately, I don't know about any other database that would serve your purpose, but feel free to message me if you have any questions about using TELL!
Hi Hande,
If you are interested in spoken Turkish, you might find the Spoken Turkish Corpus of the Middle East Technical University (METU) helpful. It contains recordings (audio) and archives collected from their university radio station. As far as I know, a demo version has been transcribed, but I don't know if stress has been encoded. At any rate, it can be useful if you are interested in data coded for some sociolinguistic variables, representing different discourse contexts.

"Spoken Language and Dictionary of Turkish Articulation" by İclal Ergenç (2002, Publisher: Multilingual) phonetically transcribes each word using the IPA and encodes, among others, primary stress and duration based on standard Turkish. I don't know if there is an electronic version though.
Güncel Türkçe Sözlük mentions stress when it's not on the ultimate syllable. I don't think it has an API, but it's possible to scrape it using https://sozluk.gov.tr/gts?ara=word. Good luck :)
