1) The Mystery of the Red-Headed League by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle offers an example of polyphonesis in its text. Here are some issues that led to the use of polyphonesis in this story.

- Doyle was not only the author of Sherlock Holmes but he also was known for his defense of British conduct in the Boer War and the First World War. - Dr. Watson was an excellent doctor and surgeon. - Although he did not possess the insight of Holmes, Dr.Watson was a very intelligent man

All of these characteristics led to the distinct voice of Dr. Watson. A reader can distinguish Dr. Watson simply by the voice that he possess in the story. It isn't necessarily what he say but how he says it. Dr. Watson posses a elegant British voice. He is intelligent and speaks with a respectful etiquette to others.
