Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spoken language communication is arguably the most important activity that distinguishes humans from nonhuman species. While many animal species communicate and exchange information using sound, humans are unique in the complexity of the information that can be conveyed using speech, and in the range of ideas, thoughts and emotions that can be expressed. Despite the importance of speech communication for the entire structure of human society, there are many aspects of this process that are not fully understood. One problem is that research on speech and language is typically carried out by different groups of scientists working on separate aspects of the underlying functional and neural systems. On the one hand, research from an auditory perspective focuses on the acoustical properties of speech sounds, their representation in the auditory system, and how that representation is used to extract phonetic information. On the other hand, research from psycholinguistic perspectives examines the processes by which representations of meaning are extracted from the acoustic-phonetic sequence, and how these are linked to the construction of higher-level linguistic interpretation in terms of sentences and discourse. Till now, there has been relatively little interaction between speech researchers from these two groups, in spite of a dramatic expansion in recent years of research into the neural bases of auditory and linguistic functions. This book bridges the gap between these two lines of research, recognising that both have the same aims in understanding how the motor gestures of a speaker are transformed to sounds and how those are mapped onto meaning in the comprehension of spoken language. It presents the work of leading researchers specializing in a wide range of topics within speech perception and language processing - along with contributions from key researchers in neuroanatomy and neuro-imaging. This important new work cuts through the traditional boundaries and fosters crossdisciplinary interactions in this important and rapidly developing area of the biological and cognitive sciences.

Download or read book Musical Gestures written by Rolf Inge Godøy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-02-12 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We experience and understand the world, including music, through body movement–when we hear something, we are able to make sense of it by relating it to our body movements, or form an image in our minds of body movements. Musical Gestures is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between sound and movement. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to the fundamental issues of this subject, drawing on ideas, theories and methods from disciplines such as musicology, music perception, human movement science, cognitive psychology, and computer science.
Download or read book Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval Genesis of Meaning in Sound and Music written by Sølvi Ystad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval, CMMR 2008 - Genesis of Meaning in Sound and Music, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in May 2008. The 21 revised full papers presented were specially reviewed and corrected for this proceedings volume. CMMR 2008 seeks to enlarge upon the Sense of Sounds-concept by taking into account the musical structure as a whole. More precisely, the workshop will have as its theme Genesis of Meaning in Sound and Music. The purpose is hereby to establish rigorous research alliances between computer and engineering sciences (information retrieval, programming, acoustics, signal processing) and areas within the humanities (in particular perception, cognition, musicology, philosophy), as well as to globally address the notion of sound meaning and its implications in music, modeling and retrieval.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, University of Birmingham (School of English), course: Grammar & Vocabulary, language: English, abstract: Bei der vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich um einen linguistischen Report, den ich während meines Auslandsaufenthaltes an der Birmingham City University verfasst habe. Dabei wurden grundlegende linguistische Phänomene anhand eines Wortes ("sound") wie bspw. Morphologie oder Syntax untersucht. Der erste Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Wortherkunft (Etymologie) sowie den verschiedenen Bedeutungen und Flexiven. Aufbauend auf diese grundlegenden Informationen untersucht der zweite Teil die unterschiedliche Flexive im Bezug auf ihre benachbarten Wörter (Kollokationen). Mit Hilfe des British National Corpus werden sowohl mehrere Beispiele herausgestellt als auch Diagramme und Tabellen verwendet, um die Ergebnisse hervorzuheben. Das kurze Fazit stellt noch einmal die wichtigsten Punkte zusammen. Nachfolgend die Einleitung aus der Arbeit: The following report is dedicated to investigate the word “sound” (/saʊnd/) with regards to some of the main linguistic features: meaning, morphology, syntax, collocation. First of all, this brief introduction will look at the word in its common meaning as well as its etymology. If one hears the word sound, one will automatically associate it with noise. According to the Oxford Dictionary of English sound relating to noise has its origin in two other languages: Anglo-Norman French and Latin. The former includes the noun soun and the verb suner, the latter the noun sonus. The word entered the English language for the first time in the Middle English period. At that time it was written soun like the Anglo-Norman French version and the -d was added in the Early Modern English period (Oxforddictionaries.com, 2014). The next section will present other main senses of the word as well as their etymology (meaning). Afterwards, the section on morphology will focus on the word classes and inflec- tions of the word “sound” (morphology). Based on these introductory sections, the analysis of this report will be examined with the help of the British National Corpus in the last two sec- tions. Therefore, it will be outlined how the word operates in English syntax as well as the regular lexical phrases it enters. Ultimately, the conclusion will discuss the results that have been discovered in the analysis.
Download or read book Sound and Meaning in East Cushitic Languages written by Sumiyo Nishiguchi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, one of the few English language publications on indigenous languages spoken in East Africa, highlights theoretical contributions on understudied East Cushitic languages, based on extensive data. It introduces readers to important fields such as the OT phonology and morphology of Dhaasanac and discusses the syntax of negation, semantics of focus, negation and context shift. It then examines negative polarity items and context sensitivity in the Rendille, Burji, Somali and Afar languages to offer broader insights into these phenomena. Given its focus, the book will appeal to researchers and students who are interested in formal semantics, pragmatics and indigenous studies around the globe, especially those wanting to learn about East Cushitic linguistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: A, Free International University of Moldova, language: English, abstract: In this paper, there will be a thematic overview of some of the most interesting contributions to the area of onomatopoeia and other sound symbolism. Most linguists have had something to say on the subject, in many cases using different terminologies. The themes that are especially important are the questions of integration into language (grammar and lexicon), of productivity, of universality and of explanation. The chapter will end with a summary of forms and meanings of onomatopoeic and sound symbolic expressions.
