Summary
In this study, we aimed to determine the average VOT (voice onset time) values of the Turkish stop consonants by using 30 volunteers (15 female and 15 male). For this aim, we measured the VOT values of the six Turkish stops (i.e., /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/ and /g/), which were uttered by 30 subjects in three times, on wideband spectrograms. At the result of this study, the average VOT values of /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/ and /g/ were found to be 41, -66, 50, -53, 69, and -10 ms, respectively. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
