TI  - DEVELOPING A SETUP FOR DETERMINING PROPULSION EFFECTS OF TURKISH VOWELS
AB  - In our study, it was aimed to develop a novel method that makes the pressure effect of the airflow created by the articulation of vowels visible/measurable. In order to determine the effect, a male subject produced eight vowels in Contemporary Turkey Turkish (CTT) (a, e, ı, i, o, ö, u, ü) into the combined setting of cool mist and green laser and the movement of the laser beam was recorded with a mobile phone to examine the propulsion distance, duration, delay and speed. The results revealed the consistency of differences between vowels; /a/ and /i/ produced the least (<10cm), /u/ and /ü/ produced the highest (15cm <) propulsion. Push distance; pronouncing duration is related to Jitter, Shimmer and HNR, and HNR was found as the only explanatory variable. The distance of propulsion is related to the duration of phonation, Jitter, Shimmer and Harmonic Noise Ratio (HNR), and HNR was found as the only explanatory variable. Our findings demonstrate that, following the literature, round vowels produced by elongating the lower and upper lip forward could create more airflow. With the development of this experimental design, it will be possible to work on the degree of particle emission in CTT respiratory tract diseases and to obtain new variables in the acoustic description of the segmental and suprasegmental features of speech.
