Are you working on the consonantal inventory of Turkish only or working on the vowel inventory also? As Turkish has front rounded vowels which involve lip protrusion, articulating front rounded vowels may be a challenge for the cleft lip speakers.
We will record all sounds of Turkish with MRI (2 speakers), also the ones including lip protrusion. The primary aim is to provide an articulatory-acoustic database, especially for people working in speech therapy.
Dear Monyer, thanks for the poster but I may not agree with the arguments of this work. According to phonological theories like OT, vowel harmony is abstract and feature based and they don't consider the phonetic details. There is nothing like harmony and disharmony in vowel harmony languages. Even the dis-harmonic patterns participate in low level coarticulation.
