noktalaryla

Noktalaryla is a term encountered in discussions of experimental typography and speculative linguistics. In this context, it denotes a dot-based modality for delimiting textual units, where dots or dot-like marks are used alongside or instead of spaces to separate elements of a text, or to encode information in a visual pattern. The concept is largely experimental and not part of mainstream typographic or linguistic standards.

Etymology: The word is formed from Turkish nokta meaning “dot” with the plural noktalar meaning “dots,” combined with the instrumental suffix -la meaning “with.” The literal reading is “with dots.” In Turkish-language discussions, the form may be presented as a morphological illustration rather than a prescribed grammatical rule.

Usage and examples: In artworks and design experiments, noktalaryla describes text arranged or annotated by dot markers to emphasize structure, rhythm, or data encoding. It can appear in descriptions such as “metin noktalaryla düzenlenmiştir” to indicate the text is organized with dots. In data visualization, dot-based delimitation may serve to show segmentation or metadata. It should be distinguished from standard Turkish punctuation conventions.
