Article Citation - WoS: 2The Early Turkestani Emigre Struggle and Turkestanism: Nation - Imagining in Emigration: 1925-1940(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2016) Karasar, Hasan AliThe early Turkestani emigre struggle was an important example of 'nation imagining' in emigration. In this article, the challenges faced by Turkestani nationalist leaders who had left their fatherland after the Bolshevik invasion of their country are examined. The activities of emigre leaders and pan-Turkists like Zeki Velidi Togan, Mustafa Cokayoglu, Osman Hoca and Nihal Atsiz are illustrated in some detail. Special attention is given to policy formation, propaganda tactics, the use of media (mainly by publishing periodicals), and the organization of NGOs with the mission of setting and uniting the public (in diaspora) against Russian invasion. It is hoped that this discussion will enable researchers to make better assessments of the past and intelligent projections for the future. The work is based on extensive original sources, most of which have not been exploited before in English language publications.Article Can Computers Read a Text With Stress?(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2013) Uslu, I. Baran; Demir, Nurettin; Ilk, H. Gokhan; Yilmaz, A. Egemen; Department of Electrical & Electronics EngineeringToday prosodic elements such as stress, intonation and melody can be examined through computer-assisted techniques. The identification and analysis of acoustic qualities provide significant clues as to the suprasegmental aspects of speech. In this study a system was designed to enable speech synthesis using a Turkish text. This synthesizer was used to analyze the melodic sructures of selected sentences. Any speech synthesized by a computer needs to be equipped with a melodic model so that it will sound natural to the ear. Within the context of this study a melodic model was also suggested, and the elements of this model were analyzed and discussed in terms of the rules of linguistics.
