This paper presents results on the determination of locus equations
for Slovenian language. The 1000-speaker Slovenian SpeechDat(II) spoken
language database is searched first for all target VCV contexts in
order to yield candidate subsets for the acoustic-phonetic measurements.
Next, only VCVs embedded within the judiciously chosen carrier utterances
are selected for the (F2 vowel, F2 onset) measurements in the framework
of /VbV/, /VdV/, and /VgV/-based determination of locus equations.
The paper concludes with the discussion of results from the cross-linguistic
perspective.
