Accéder au sens et en donner à la parole : de l'importance des constituants prosodiques dans l'enseignement de l'oral en FLE
2018
Learning a foreign language means being in contact with a new environment of sounds compared to that of the mother tongue. The foreign language teacher must help learners to access these sounds both from a perception and a production point of view. The verbo-tonal method of phonetic correction designed in the 1960s-1970s by Professor Petar Guberina (University of Zagreb) provides teachers with tools to correct learners’ pronunciation. The aim of this article is to present some of the advantages of the VTM for phonetic correction, in particular with regard to prosody by showing how important this is for effective communication. This comes in response to difficulties noted by Polish-speaking …
A new method of tonality perception research
2009
The methods used in tonality perception research are various, like counting the appearance rate of tonic, accumulating the duration of tones in a scale, the "probe-tone" technique, etc. However, the purpose of different methods is the same that is to try to build a model of tonality perception. The profiles of tones drawn from the above mentioned methods are quite similar. Theoretically, the cone model and tone hierarchy, the rare-intervals theory and the intervallic rivalry theory provide explanation for tonality perception processing. This study with a new method tries to explain the tonality perception from the priming effect view and tries to solve the conflicts between different theori…
Roque Barcia Martí (1821-1885). Una biografía intelectual de un republicano federal
2019
Esta Tesis doctoral tiene como objeto analizar la trayectoria de la democracia republicana en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX desde la experiencia del escritor federal Roque Barcia Martí (Sevilla, 1821 – Madrid, 1885). Poeta, viajero y literato en su juventud, empezó a despuntar como figura destacada del republicanismo en el Bienio Progresista. A lo largo de su agitada vida pública fue autor prolífico, propagandista, revolucionario, exiliado, diputado a Cortes en 1869, 1871 y 1873, senador en 1872 y cabecilla del Cantón de Cartagena. Las posibilidades de que un desarrollo vital, profesional y político como el suyo cristalizara en las décadas centrales del siglo XIX tiene que ver tanto con la…
Are We Really Hearing in Our Heads What We Think We’re Hearing? The Role of Audiation in Musical Improvisation
2016
An important and valued part of the skill of musical improvisation is to be able to play what we hear in our head (audiation). Improvisation is a cognitively demanding activity, involving the production of musical material in real time. This requires the simultaneous involvement and coordination of many different skills, and places demands on working memory, memory retrieval, auditory and sensory-motor systems. Some recent studies support a cognitive model of improvisation which posits the deployment of stored rhythmic and melodic patterns via motor programmes. According to the theory of event coding, actions and their perceptual consequences share the same cognitive representation and beha…
Sémiotique du goût et de la sensibilité alimentaire
2021
L'alimentation en général et le goût, en particulier, bénéficient d'une large couverture disciplinaire. Sans parler des sciences expérimentales, les sciences humaines et sociales ont exploré, sous toutes les facettes,le capital de signification de ce domaine si intimement lié au vivant, à l'existence,à l'expérience. La sémiotique, au plus près des signes et des significations, ne pouvait manquer un terrain aussi riche et complexe pour se mettre à l'épreuve.La sémiosphère alimentaire est abordée à travers l'articulation de ses différents plans d'analyse, comme autant d'espaces figuratifs en communication : auto (saveurs et sensations) ; micro (commensalité et convivialité) ; méso (régimes mé…
A Psychoacoustic Model of Harmonic Cadences - A Preliminary Report
2009
This report presents a psychoacoustically derived computational model of the perceived distance between any two major or minor triads, the degree of activity created by any given pair of triads, and the cadential effectiveness of three-triad progressions. It also provides statistical analyses of the ratings given by thirty-five participants for the ?similarity? and ?fit? of triads in a pair, and the ?cadential effectiveness? of three-triad progressions. Multiple regressions show that the model provides highly significant predictions of the experimentally obtained ratings. Finally, it is argued that because the model is based upon psychoacoustic axioms, it is likely the regression equations …
Specific Emotional Reactions to Tonal Music - Indication of the Adaptive Character of Tonality Recognition
2013
People report that specific emotional reactions accompany the perception of tonal relations during listening to tonal music. These reactions are not restricted only to people living in the Western culture. Different types of tonality which are observed in all musical cultures seem to evoke similarly strong emotional reactions. The emotional response to a tonal sound sequence has been predominantly explained by fulfilling or not the pitch-related expectations of listeners. However, although this model indicates the general mechanism of prediction as the main source of an emotional reaction, it does not explain why the musical pitch-related expectation causes a stronger emotional reaction tha…
