Document1 Tractometry and the search for the missing link Derek Jones School of Psychology, University of Cardiff In this 'works in progress' / brainstorming talk, I will begin by motivating the need for more meaningful quantitative metrics of white matter 'connectivity' and use this to introduce 'Tractometry' – the automated quantification of biologically-meaningful metrics along specific white m

Roll_abstract ERP—Exploring the temporal microstructure of cognitive functions in the brain Mikael Roll Linguistics, Center for Languages and Literature, Lund University Current investigations are making it possible to analyze MRI data at a spatial microstructure level. However, temporal resolution is poor in MRI. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and the event-related potentials (ERP) technique,

Microsoft Word - Gibbs_SALC6_abstract.docx Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr. Metaphor and the Automatic Mind When people produce or understand verbal metaphors, and metaphoric gestures, do they do so automatically or with conscious deliberation? Metaphor scholars widely recognize that the answer to this question depends on several factors, including the specific kind of metaphor that was produced or understoo

Ambrazaitis Swedish focal accent – emphasized! Or: A linguistic vs. a para-linguistic type of focal peak raising? Gilbert Ambrazaitis, Lund University Thanks to Gösta Bruce’s seminal dissertation (1977), we understand that Stockholm Swedish exhibits two phonological prominence levels: the word accent level and the focal accent level. The focal accent is understood as a high tone (H-) which is adde

Botinis-Ambrazitis-Frid Syllable constituency and tonal structure in Greek and Swedish Antonis Botinis1, Gilbert Ambrazaitis2 and Johan Frid2 1University of Athens, 2Lund University Our general hypothesis is that tonal commands in different languages may be correlated with (1) syllable division and (2) different syllable constituents. Preliminary results show heterosyllabification tendencies as we

Chow Intonation patterns of double subjects in Mandarin: Evidence in support of a possessive structure Una Y. Chow, University of Calgary Researchers argue whether double subjects in Mandarin (e.g., [tùzi ‘rabbit’] and [ĕrduo ‘ear’] in the sentence [Tùzi ĕrduo chɑ́ng ‘Rabbits have long ears’]) are topic- subject sequences (e.g., [topic Tùzi ‘rabbit’] [subject ĕrduo ‘ear’] [chɑ́ng ‘long’] ‘As for r

Edlund-Heldner Is breathing prosody? Jens Edlund1, Mattias Heldner2, Marcin Włodarczak2, 1Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, 2Stockholm University Even though we may not be aware of it, much breathing in face-to face conversation is both clearly audible and visible. Consequently, it has been suggested that respiratory activity is used in the joint coordination of conversational flow.

Gosselke Initial contact with and acquisition of grammatical tone Sabine Gosselke, Lund University We investigate what happens in learners’ brains during initial contact with grammatical tone and in the early acquisition stages. To this end, we are presently conducting an EEG experiment, where we record participants’ neural activity while they learn pseudowords with grammatically meaningful tone a

Grønnum Danish stød is tone deaf Nina Gønnum, University of Copenhagen Danish stød recently received a novel interpretation as the phonetic manifestation of a HL tone compressed within one syllable. The stød/non-stød distinction would then be a special case of the more general tonal word accent distinction in standard Swedish and Norwegian. What speaks in favour of such a proposal? (1) It is justi

gussenhoven Languages with and without word stress Carlos Gussenhoven, Radboud University A language has word stress if a syllable-based culminative and obligatory prominence feature is part of the phonology of words (Hyman 2006). This definition excludes languages with a mora-based obligatory tone, like Kinga, languages with an obligatory phrase-based syllabic pitch accent, like French, and langu

Hirschberg Multiple dimensions of entrainment in dialogue Julia Hirschberg, Columbia University When people speak together, they often adapt aspects of their speaking style based upon the style of their conversational partner. This phenomena goes by many names, including adaptation, alignment, and entrainment, inter alia. In this talk, I will describe experiments in English and Mandarin examining

Kuegler Focus affects the pitch register – focal lowering in German Frank Kügler, Potsdam University There is ample evidence that focus prominence yields higher scaling of pitch peaks in tone (e.g. Xu 1999 for Mandarin) and intonation languages (e.g. Féry & Kügler 2008 for German). These facts culminated in the proposal of intonational universals in terms of the effort code (Gussenhoven 2004). How

Ladd What is prosody, anyway? Bob Ladd, University of Edinburgh Widespread use of the term prosody in linguistics dates only from the 1970s. Up until then, the term’s primary meaning concerned rules of poetic metre and other aspects of text-setting and poetic well-formedness. The shift from the poetic sense to the term’s current meaning began in the late 1960s and was more or less complete by abou

Niebuhr Details in the perception of German prominence: Cue power estimates and contexts effects Oliver Niebuhr, Kiel University It is widely accepted for German and other languages that duration and F0 are the major prominence cues, with F0 being more important than duration. But, how much of a change in duration is actually necessary to counterbalance a given change in F0? Our experiment address
