Abstract
The frequencies, band widths and levels of the first four formants have been determined for the eight vowels of the Turkish language. The mid-vowel in a CVC context from 40 adult speakers was manually stripped and an LPC analysis was carried out to determine the formant param eters. Then, some of the most popular vowel normalization algorithms were applied to the resulting vowel clusters on the F1-F2 plane and their performances were compared.
