Abstract
Bu makalenin iki amacı var. Birinci amaç, Türk İşaret Dili
(TİD) ezgisinde Hecenin varlığını göstermek. Ezgisel bir gruplamanın varlığı,
ancak tanımında bu gruplamanın kullanıldığı sesbilimsel bir olay var olduğu
zaman kanıtlanmış olur. Bu ölçütten yola çıkarak, makalenin birinci amacını
gerçekleştirmek, yani hecenin varlığını ispatlamak için, sesbilimsel olaylardan
kanıtlar sunuyoruz. Bu olayların tanımında heceden söz etmek gerekir. Bu
sesbilimsel olaylardan ilki, ödünç alınmış ve tek elle harflenen iki yapım
ekinin TİD’e uyarlamış şeklinin hece boyutuna sığdırılmasıdır. İkincisi,
bileşenleri tek tek iki hece oluşturmasına rağmen bazı bileşik işaretlerin hece
sayısının bir hece ile sınırlandırılmasıdır. Üçüncüsü, hece sayısı bir ile
sınırlı olan İç-İçe Geçme olayıdır. Bu üç sesbilimsel olay tüm hece alanını kapsamaktadır
ve tanımlanabilmek için hece kavramını içermek zorundadır. Ayrıca, hecenin iki
ucundan bahsederek tanımlanması gereken iki sesbilimsel olay sunuyoruz. Bunlar
Göçüşme ve Geriye İşaretlemedir. Bir ezgisel gruplamanın bağımsız olarak var
olduğunu göstermek için, bu gruplamanın Biçimbilim veya Sözdizimdeki başka
ilgili gruplamalardan farklı olduğunu göstermek gerekir (Nespor ve Vogel, 2007).
Bu amaçla, bitirmeden önce, hecenin Dilbilgisindeki ilgili iki gruplama olan
Biçimbirim ve İşaretten farklı bir gruplama olduğunu gösteriyoruz. Son bölümde
makaleyi özetleyip, hece ile ilgili gelecekte yapılabilecek çalışmalara
değiniyoruz.

Abstract
We
have two aims in this paper. Our first aim is to show that syllables exist in
TİD prosody (Türk İşaret Dili – Turkish Sign Language). A specific domain in
prosody is substantiated only if there are phonological phenomena that refer to
that domain as part of their definition. Therefore, for our first aim, we
present evidence from phonological phenomena which need to refer to the notion
syllable in their definition. As for these phenomena, we present Fingerspelling
of one-handed suffixes which are restricted to a single syllable size in their lexicalized
form. We also present some compounds which are reduced to a single syllable size
while the lexemes before compounding form separate syllables. Next, as a case
of phonological fusion, Coalescence will be shown to be limited to a single syllable
size. These three phonological phenomena are domain processes which, to be
defined, need the entire domain of syllable. We also show two phonological
phenomena that need to refer to the edges of a syllable. These are Metathesis
and Backwards Signing in both of which the order of the initial and final edges
of the syllable are reversed. To support the existence of a prosodic domain, it
is important to show that the specific prosodic domain is independent - it is not
isomorphic to a morphological or a syntactic domain (Nespor and Vogel, 2007).
Therefore, our second goal is to show that syllables are independent of two other
units in grammar - Morpheme and Sign - by illustrating differences between them.
We finish this paper by summary and indicating potential topics of study.
