Kurzfassung:
Oscillograms were obtained of the word top as spoken by nine normal male voices and by five voices before and after surgical removal of nasal polyps. Every repetition of the wave pattern from the nine normals, and the first, third, fifth, etc., patterns in the sounds of the operated subjects were analyzed by means of a Henrici harmonic analyzer. A total of approximately 500 waves were considered, the analysis in each case reaching at least to the 25th component, and if necessary to the 45th. The results justify certain conclusions relative to (a) the nature and importance of the temporal factor and wave-to-wave fluctuations in the vowel; (b) the support of the Helmholtz theory of vowel production; (c) location and variations of the three characteristic regions of energy; (d) probable reasons for certain inconsistent results found in studies of tongue position in vowel formation; (e) effect of removing nasal polyps on voice quality.
