Du verbe instrumental dans la musique subsaharienne
2021
Sub-Saharan music results from the spoken language/instrumental language relation, directed by an oral culture. In this culture, these languages transmit ? beyond their singularities ? messages thanks to either a coded signal known by the linguistic community or previously defined among a group of individuals, or is used as a true meta-language copied on the articulated and usual language used every day. Here, an instrumental musical speech can then imitate and reproduce the tonal inflexions of the language to make its matter understandable. This fact is the natural result of a strong interaction and interrelation between the spoken language and the music as well as the conception that the …
Profetismo político, milenarismo y creencias mesiánicas en el último periodo del reinado de Fernando el Católico (1500-1516)
2019
This study analyzes the presence of messianic and millennial beliefs in the last period of Ferdinand the Catholic?s reign. For this and after a brief state of the art, we analyze the use of the Christian prophecy of the millennium in speeches and memorials arising from the war in Naples, the North African campaign and the Pisan schism.
Libertad de expresión y performatividad. Análisis de algunos casos judiciales sobre lenguaje del odio y/o simbólico
2021
Este trabajo busca analizar la relación entre performatividad y lenguaje del odio, a partir de los argumentos de la subordinación y el silenciamiento que desarrollan MacKinnon y Butler. Para este objetivo, se estudiarán los conceptos de las teorías de los actos de habla, en especial, las nociones de expresiones y declaraciones -Searle-, de hechos institucionales -Searle- y de comunidad como consenso -Habermas-. El análisis de estos conceptos se aplicará a algunos casos de lenguaje del odio y/o lenguaje simbólico. This work aims to analyse the link between performativity and hate speech, based on the arguments of subordination and silencing developed by MacKinnon and Butler. For this purpose…
ERP denoising in multichannel EEG data using contrasts between signal and noise subspaces
2009
Abstract In this paper, a new method intended for ERP denoising in multichannel EEG data is discussed. The denoising is done by separating ERP/noise subspaces in multidimensional EEG data by a linear transformation and the following dimension reduction by ignoring noise components during inverse transformation. The separation matrix is found based on the assumption that ERP sources are deterministic for all repetitions of the same type of stimulus within the experiment, while the other noise sources do not obey the determinancy property. A detailed derivation of the technique is given together with the analysis of the results of its application to a real high-density EEG data set. The inter…
Developing Self-Awareness in Robots via Inner Speech
2019
The experience of inner speech is a common one. Such a dialogue accompanies the introspection of mental life and fulfills essential roles in human behavior, such as self-restructuring, self-regulation, and re-focusing on attentional resources. Although the underpinning of inner speech is mostly investigated in psychological and philosophical fields, the research in robotics generally does not address such a form of self-aware behavior. Existing models of inner speech inspire computational tools to provide a robot with this form of self-awareness. Here, the widespread psychological models of inner speech are reviewed, and a cognitive architecture for a robot implementing such a capability is…
A Semiotic Approach to the Design of Non-speech Sounds
2006
In the field of auditory display there is currently a lack of theoretical support for the design of non-speech sounds as elements of a user interface. Sound design methods are often based on ad hoc choices or the personal preferences of the designer. A method is proposed in this paper based on a semiotic approach to the design of non-speech sounds. In this approach, the design process is conceptualised by referring to structural semiotics, acknowledging the unique qualities of non-speech sounds, as a mode of conveying information. This method is based on a rich use scenario presented to a design panel. A case study where the design method has been applied is presented and evaluated. Finally…
Emocionalitāte apsveikuma runās
2015
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izskaidrot emocijas no dažādām perspektīvām, vairāk koncentrējoties uz kognitīvās lingvistikas emociju teoriju. Darbā arī tiek pētīta verbālās un neverbālās komunikācijas nozīme emocionālās valodas paušanā. Turklāt, tiek sniegts ieskats runas aktu teorijā, iekļaujot informāciju par runas aktu veidiem un funkcijām. Pētījuma empīriskajā daļa tiek analizētas Baltijas valstu politiķu apsveikuma runas. Tika pielietota kvantitatīvā izpētes metode. Tika veikta diskursa analīze, lai noteiktu emocionālās valodas iezīmes un funkcijas analizētajā runās. Kā arī tika veikta salīdzinošā analīze, lai salīdzinātu vīriešu un sieviešu apsveikuma runas. Veiktā analīze atklāj, ka siev…
Piebildes izpausmes veidi lietišķajā angļu rakstu valodā
2015
Bakalaura darbs pēta galvenos piebildes izpausmes veidus angļu valodā, kas ir atrodami darījumu angļu valodas atskaitēs,jo īpaši, novērtējuma atskaitēs. Pētījuma mērķis ir noteikt darījumu atskaitēs atrodamos ziņošanas darbības vārdus un izpētīt to nozīmi un pielietojumu. Pētījuma teorētiskā daļa ietver literatūras apskatu par runas ziņojumiem, to funkcijām, kā arī literatūras pārskatu par piebildes izpausmes veidiem. Tālāk darbā tiek detalizētāk aplūkoti tādi piebildes izpausmes veidi kā darbības vārdi. Pēcāk tiek salīdzināti dažādu autoru piedāvātie piepildes izpausmes veidi. Otrajā daļā darba autors apraksta pētījumā pielietotās metodes un darba norises gaitu. Kā arī, darba gaita tiek sī…
The role of reading difficulties in the associations between task values, efficacy beliefs, and achievement emotions
2018
The aim of this study was to examine the situational associations of reading-related task values and efficacy beliefs with achievement emotions, and whether these associations are moderated by reading difficulties (RD). The sample comprised 128 Finnish sixth-grade students (66 with no reading difficulties [No RD], 31 with mild reading difficulties [Mild RD], and 31 with severe reading difficulties [Severe RD]) who were randomized to complete either a non-challenging or challenging reading task. Students reported their reading-related task values (attainment and interest) and efficacy beliefs right before and their achievement emotions both before and after performing the reading task. The r…
Joint Alignment and Modeling of Correlated Behavior Streams
2013
The Variable Time-Shift Hidden Markov Model (VTS- HMM) is proposed for learning and modeling pairs of cor- related streams. Unlike previous coupled models for time series, the VTS-HMM accounts for varying time shifts be- tween correlated events in pairs of streams having different properties. The VTS-HMM is learned on a set of pairs of unaligned streams and, thus, learning entails simultaneous estimation of the varying time shifts and of the parameters of the model. The formulation is demonstrated in the analysis of videos of dyadic social interactions between children and adults in the Multimodal Dyadic Behavior Dataset (MMDB). In dyadic social interactions, an agent starts an interaction …
