Kavramların yerindeliği hususu bilim insanları açısından önemli bir sorundur. Sorunu üreten temel etmenin, söz konusu bir kavramın zorlama bir şekilde genişletilmesi veya aynı bulguya/şeye, literatürde gereksiz bir kavramsal karmaşa ve belirsizlik yaratma potansiyeli üretecek şekilde, farklı isimler verilmesi olduğu görülür. Bu çalışmada, spektral olarak 3-4 kHz bölgede görülen enerji sıçramasının konuşmacı formantı, aktör formantı, haykırma formantı ve çağırma formant demeti gibi farklı isimlerle anılmasının sakıncaları ele alınmıştır. Söz konusu akustik kavramsallaştırılmasının, basit ve bir o kadar da doğru olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır

Is it the speaker's formant, actor's formant, shouting formant or calling formant cluster?: A proposal for a more proper name/concept

Appropriateness of concepts is a trouble of social and natural scientists. The main problem was created generally by conceptual stretching or assigning different names to the same thing that created an abundance of concepts that have potential to cause unnecessary complexity and uncertainty in the literature. The present study examined the drawbacks of calling the 3-4 kHz spectral energy peak with different names; speaker’s formant, actor’s formant, shouting formant and calling formant cluster. It concluded that, to call the given acoustical phenomenon as the 3-4 kHz peak P3-4kHz may be as simple as it is correct, too
