Neural coding of syntactic structure in learned vocalizations in the songbird.
Although vocal signals including human languages are composed of a finite number of acoustic elements, complex and diverse vocal patterns can be created from combinations of these elements, linked together by syntactic rules. To enable such syntactic vocal behaviors, neural systems must extract the sequence patterns from auditory information and establish syntactic rules to generate motor comma...
متن کاملsyntactic deviation in hafez poems
abstract the present study is concerned with the syntactic deviation in hafezs poetry. poems are known to be accompanied with various linguistic deviations. these deviations may be phonological, morphological and/or syntactic. the relatively high frequency of the cases of the syntactic deviation in hafezs poems makes this rhetorical feature as a main characteristic of his poetry. this thesis, ...
Socially meaningful syntactic variation in sign-based grammar
This study begins from two observations. The first is that linguistic variation is socially meaningful (see Labov 1963, Ochs 1992, California Style Collective 1993, Eckert 2000, Irvine 2001, Podesva et al. 2001, Bucholtz and Hall 2005, Campbell-Kibler 2006, inter alia). The second is that speakers use their knowledge of language (i.e., linguistic competence) to engage in various linguistic acti...
متن کاملStimulus-dependent auditory tuning results in synchronous population coding of vocalizations in the songbird midbrain.
Physiological studies in vocal animals such as songbirds indicate that vocalizations drive auditory neurons particularly well. But the neural mechanisms whereby vocalizations are encoded differently from other sounds in the auditory system are unknown. We used spectrotemporal receptive fields (STRFs) to study the neural encoding of song versus the encoding of a generic sound, modulation-limited...
متن کاملNorepinephrine Modulates Coding of Complex Vocalizations in the Songbird Auditory Cortex Independent of Local Neuroestrogen Synthesis.
The catecholamine norepinephrine plays a significant role in auditory processing. Most studies to date have examined the effects of norepinephrine on the neuronal response to relatively simple stimuli, such as tones and calls. It is less clear how norepinephrine shapes the detection of complex syntactical sounds, as well as the coding properties of sensory neurons. Songbirds provide an opportun...
