Historical Context

[Ahmet Ardıç]

Dear Cvetka,

Now let me show you a clear mistake so that the detail I mentioned is clear to everyone on this page. 

Here I show you the visuals of 3 separate words in your chart and how you read them. 

   

The letters O, A, R that you show in your table are exactly the same in our ATA transcription with the same phonetic values. 

These are already familiar characters of the Latin alphabet. But for all three words, the ones you read with the same SV phonetic equivalent (syllable signs, according to us) are different from each other in terms of their linear structures/organizations based on their drawing style. 

Thats why it is not possible for them to have the same sound value. 

Another issue is how you are reading C, S, V alphabet characters with a certain phonetic value. When these sounds are side by side to the phonetic signs SV and CV are formed, they have no similarity with the drawing of the letters S, V, C. For this reason, there is an inconsistency between them as a drawing, even if we assume that you have read them as syllabic characters. Just for this reason, there is no C to CV overlap based on their drawings.

This and many similar mistakes are clearly evident in your work, and for this reason, your work will never have an academic value in the world of transcription. 

So don't let it upset you. Still, as a study, it was a good try, but like many other claims, it's not a scientifically important study as I know.


Kind regards,
