Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Godfrey Edward Arnold, born as Gottfried Eduard Arnold (Olmütz/then Austria-Hungary, January 6, 1914 – Vienna, July 5, 1989), was an Austrian American professor of medicine and researcher. His studies centered on speech, speech disorder and clinical communicology.

Early life

Arnold was a son of

State Academy of Music and Performing Arts. Several internships with Hermann Gutzmann jun. (1892–1972) in Berlin deepened his phoniatric knowledge. His case studies at the Voice and Speech Ambulance of the Vienna Ear Clinic at the Vienna General Hospital led to a fundamental publication describing traumatic and constitutional disorders of voice and speech (Die traumatischen und konstitutionellen Störungen der Stimme und Sprache, Vienna 1948). He coauthored the fundamental textbook on voice and speech medicine (Lehrbuch der Stimm- und Sprachheilkunde, first edition Vienna, 1949) together with the Swiss phoniatre Richard Luchsinger
(1900–1993).

Career in the United States

In 1949 he immigrated into the US and lived until 1963 in

Otolaryngology Department of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.[3]

In 1962, Arnold developed the method to inject teflon into the vocal cords[4] und coined the term "phonosurgery"[5] with Hans von Leden the following year.

Arnold was founding director of the Division of

Otolaryngology[6] in the University of Mississippi Medical Center,[7] Jackson, 1963–79. His work included research on cancer.[8]

He is coauthor (with Richard Luchsinger) of the textbook "Voice - Speech - Language".[9] A previous version of this work had been published in German in 1949. Although the text was now written several decades ago, the topics covered are quite similar to those in a contemporary voice textbook, which shows how advanced the study of

ventricular voice, and psychogenic voice disorders
.

Arnold also wrote the pertinent (and still current) articles on speech and speech disorder in the Encyclopædia Britannica.[10][11]

Personal life

Arnold married Isolde Reuter in 1941 and has a daughter, Claudia. After his retirement, he moved to

Zentralfriedhof
. His wife, an opera singer and actress, died November 4, 2016, in Grinzing, a suburb of Vienna.

Honors

In 1982, Arnold received the Honors of the

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).[12]

In 1988 he was bestowed the Medal of Honor of the Federal Capital of Vienna in gold.[13]
