The article focuses on the issue of corpus linguistics in Kazakh language studies. Nowadays, the sphere of corpus linguistics is being researched, and the base for the National corpus of the Kazakh language is in the process of preparation. The article discusses the ways of entering phonetic and prosodic markers to the oral text subcorpus of the Kazakh language. The analysis of vowels, consonants, and the three types of syllables is done. The system of linguistic knowledge is taken into consideration for entering the texts to the corpus base automatically. In particular, the article describes the rules of putting phonetic and prosodic markers, the studies of word melody, the analysis of automatically dividing a word into syllables, and distinctive features of phonemes. All the sounds of the Kazakh language are described in the article, and the differences and definitions of phonemes and phonetics are given. Also, to demonstrate the intonational features of words, the markers signifying tone, loudness, pauses, and intensity are given. The models of intonemes of sentences are created. For instance, the following model is described, and the ways of its automatization are given: in the beginning of the sentence, there is rising tone, and the sign of incomplete intoneme (↑) is given; at the end of the sentence the tone falls, and the sign of complete intoneme (↓) is given, while the tone stabilizes in the middle of the sentence (→). The results of the study will be useful for preparing the prosodic marking of the oral subcorpus, for the research in the fields of phonetics and phonology, and for writing Master’s and Doctor’s scientific papers.
