Locus equations for Turkish plosives

In this study, the locus equations of Turkish plosives are examined. The speech database including all the combinations of Turkish plosives and vowels is prepared for this purpose. The formant frequencies of plosives and successive vowels are manually determined for the speech data in the database. The locus equations for Turkish plosives are determined by using this data. The observations show that the parameters of locus equations can be a very distinctive feature for Turkish plosives.
