AB -  THE SPECTROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF SOUND SIGNALS OF THE DOMESTIC FOWL by NICHOLAS COLLIAS and MARTIN JOOS (Department of Zoology and Department of German, University of Wisconsin) (with 9 figures) (Rec. 2-XII-1952) The acoustic spectrograph is an instrument that permits a convenient harmonic analysis of sounds. A detailed description of the acoustic spectro- graph is available in the Bell Telephone System Monograph B-y 5, a reprint of articles published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America in 1946. A general account of the sound spectrograph in relation to the advantages for linguistic analysis has been given by Joos (r948). The present study was based on the conviction that the spectrograph also provides a good method for the analysis of the sound signals emitted by non-human animals. The domestic fowl was used as the sound emitter, because an experimental ana- lysis had been made of much of the sound signal system of this bird (COLLIAS, 1952), and because many of these sound signals were already conveniently on disc records. These disc records were made with the colla- boration of the University of Wisconsin Radio Broadcasting Station, and with financial aid from the University of Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
