Paralinguistic correlates of conceptual structure

Neural correlates of categorical linguistic and gradient paralinguistic intonation

Multiple cues interact to signal multiple functions in intonation simultaneously which makes intonation notoriously complex to analyze. The Autosegmental-Metrical model for intonation analysis has proved to be an excellent vehicle for separating the components, but evidence for the phonetics/phonology dichotomy on which it hinges has proved elusive. Advocating a multidisciplinary approach, this...

Paralinguistic Microphone

The Human vocal tract is considered for its sonorous qualities in carrying prosodic information, which implicates vision in the perceptual processes of speech. These considerations are put in the context of previous work in NIME, forming background for the introduction of two sound installations; “Microphone”, which uses a camera and computer vision to translate mouth shapes to sounds, and “Mic...

Conceptual Analysis of Software Structure

Software systems are often highly structured, consisting of artifacts: types, methods, variables, and packages; and relationships between these artifacts. Domain and meta models, and software design documentation provide additional artifacts such as roles, associations, use cases, and paragraphs of text. This paper outlines a tool for software structure understanding. The tool consists of a kno...

9. Lexical Conceptual Structure

Concepts and conceptual structure.

Research and theory on categorization and conceptual structure have recently undergone two major shifts. The first shift is from the assumption that concepts have defining properties (the classical view) to the idea that concept representations may be based on properties that are only characteristic or typical of category examples (the probabilistic view). Both the probabilistic view and the cl...
