Abstract
In the United States of America, the nasometer was developed by Fletcher as an objective method for measuring nasality. There are no accepted normal values for comparable test materials regarding the German language. The aim of this study was the examination of the auditively normal nasality of Saxon-speaking people with the nasometer. The nasalance of 51 healthy Saxon-speaking test persons with auditively normal nasality was measured with a model 6200 nasometer (Kay-Elemetrics, U.S.A.). The text materials used were the vowels "a","e", "i","o", and "u", the sentences "Die Schokolade ist sehr lecker" ("The chocolate is very tasty") and "Nenne meine Mama Mimi" ("Name my mama Mimi"),and the texts of "North wind and sun", "A children's birthday", and an arbitrary selection from Strittmatter. The mean nasalance for the vowels was 17.7%, for the sentence containing no nasal sounds 13.0%, and for the sentence containing many nasal sounds 67.2%. The mean value of the texts was 33-41%. The results for the texts agreed well with the results of Reuter (1997),who examined people from the state of Brandenburg. A range from 20% to 55% is suggested as the normal value for nasalance in the German-speaking area.
