PhonoBot: A Chatbot for Sound Changes

Öz

The use of artificial intelligence is gradually expanding in various fields today. Its applicability to many areas and its ability to make people’s lives easier can be considered as the strongest points of AI. Artificial intelligence systems enable people to access information faster and can also provide an interactive and individualised education environment. Chatbots, one of the most common examples of artificial intelligence, can chat with people using natural languages such as Turkish and English. It can be said that the communication environment offered by chatbots has enabled them to become widespread in the field of education. People go through social, cultural and economic changes over time. These changes shaped according to people's needs can lead to various changes in language as in the education environment. As one of the most important elements of language and communication, sound can be affected by this situation and cause various sound changes to occur in words over time. This study focuses on the PhonoBot developed to facilitate students and instructors in accessing information and examples related to sound changes more quickly. The purpose, design, user interaction, and potential benefits that PhonoBot can provide to users are the main subjects of this study.
