Abstract:

 

Morse code has been in use for more than 180 years, even  though its currently known form is slightly different than the form  defined by Morse and Vail.  The code book constructed by Vail was  optimized according to the statistical properties of English.  In this  study, we propose a new code book optimized for Turkish and  demonstrate that it is information-theoretically possible to achieve  about a 10% improvement throughout the coding of Turkish texts by  means of our proposal.  The outcomes of this might serve as a basis  for potential (academic and/or applied) Turkish language-specific  lossless data compression studies.
