[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: March 14. Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences?

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Anna Babarczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics on Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences? Date: Wed, March 14, 2012 - 17:00 - 18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences? ABSTRACT: The question of learning the meaning of abstract language (roughly, expressions with no perceptible referents) has been bugging philosophers for thousands of years. More recently, a number of experimental paradigms have emerged trying to shed light on this issue. The basic idea explored in the talk is that people understand abstract (metaphorical) expressions by linking them to sensory or bodily experiences. If this is the case, we should be able to show that these experiences affect people’s interpretation of abstract utterances. The talk looks at the evidence we have so far (pro and contra).We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) ! _______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-subscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-unsubscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu

Linda Garami =================================== Dear colleagues, Please find below (in the body of this email and as a PDF file) the offer for a PhD grant position in Neurolinguistics, on the processing of prosodic cues in French by monolingual French and Spanish (and/or Catalan) speakers and by bilingual French/Spanish (and/or French/Catalan) and French/Occitan speakers. This grant is attached to the Doctoral School CLESCO of the University of Toulouse, and to the Octogone-Lordat lab (EA 4156) and the CERCO lab (UMR 5549), starting October 1rst 2014. Thank you for taking this offer into consideration and to transfer it to any student or colleague who may be interested to apply. Best regards, Corine Astésano (Lecturer in Phonetics/prosody, Linguistics Department and Octogone-Lordat lab, University of Toulouse II). ====================== Chers collègues, Veuillez trouver ci joint une offre de Bourse de Thèse en Neurolinguistique, sur le Traitement des Indices Prosodiques en Français par des locuteurs monolingues français et espagnols (et/ou catalans) et bilingues Français/Espagnol (et/ou Français/Catalan) et Français/Occitan. Cette bourse est rattachée à l'ED CLESCO et à l'URI Octogone-Lordat (EA 4156), ainsi qu'au CERCO (UMR 5549) à l'Université Toulouse II. Merci de prendre cette offre en considération et de transférer ce message aux étudiants ou collègues que cela pourrait intéresser. Bien cordialement, Corine Astésano (MCF, Département des SDL et URI Octogone-Lordat, Université Toulouse II). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Version française (English version below)* *Sujet* : « NEUROPROS- Etudes neurophysiologiques du traitement des indices prosodiques chez des locuteurs monolingues Français et Espagnol, et des locuteurs bilingues (Français-Occitan et Français-Espagnol)» *Encadrants* : Barbara Köpke, Denis Fize, Corine Astésano, Radouane El Yagoubi *Laboratoires d’accueil :*U.R.I Octogone-Lordat (EA 4156), Université de Toulouse II CERCO (UMR 5549), Université Paul Sabatier - Toulouse III *Discipline* : Sciences du Langage *Ecole doctorale : *Comportement, Langage, Education, Socialisation, Cognition (CLESCO) *Description scientifique du projet *: Le projet s’inscrit dans une approche éminemment interdisciplinaire (linguistique, neuropsychologie cognitive et neurosciences) visant à étudier le traitement des indices prosodiques par les locuteurs francophones monolingues et bilingues. Le français est une langue où l’accentuation est dite post-lexicale et non distinctive, à l’inverse de langues comme l’espagnol, le catalan ou encore l’occitan pour lesquelles le patron accentuel est représenté dans l’entrée lexicale. Ces caractéristiques prosodiques conduisent à considérer le français comme une ‘langue sans accent’ (Rossi, 1980), ce qui rend difficile l’intégration de cette langue dans les modèles de traitement de la parole (Cutler et al, 1997), fondés essentiellement sur les caractéristiques métriques et accentuelles des langues (Cutler & Norris, 1988). De même, ces caractéristiques participeraient à une certaine ‘surdité’ des francophones à l’accentuation en langues étrangères (Dupoux et al, 1997, inter alia). Si l’on considère cependant le système accentuel du français dans toute sa complexité, en prenant en compte l’interaction de l’accent final primaire et de l’accent initial secondaire dans le marquage des constituants prosodiques (Di Cristo, 2000), il est possible de postuler un rôle de l’accentuation en français dans les stratégies de segmentation de la parole et d’accès au sens (Bagou & Frauenfelder, 2006). L’accent initial notamment semble jouer un rôle très important dans le marquage des constituants prosodiques (Astésano et al, 2007) et est clairement perçu par des auditeurs naïfs (Astésano et al, 2012). Des recherches récentes en neuroimagerie (EEG) indiquent qu’une incongruité métrique ralentit l’accès au sens en français (Magne et al, 2007). Plus récemment, nous avons montré dans un paradigme de MisMatch Negativity que les auditeurs francophones discriminent les patrons accentuels en français et que l’accent initial notamment est encodé en mémoire à long terme dans la représentation du mot en français (Aguilera et al, 2014). Il s’agit maintenant de consolider ces résultats en étendant ces investigations à d’autres paradigmes EEG et en adaptant les protocoles à l’IRMf, afin de décrire précisément les substrats neuronaux et la dynamique temporelle du traitement des indices prosodiques en français. En outre, ces traitements ont, pour l’instant, seulement été observés chez des locuteurs monolingues. Or, une comparaison des stratégies linguistiques de locuteurs monolingues et bilingues (monolingues Français, monolingues Espagnol et/ou Catalan, bilingues Français/Occitan – Français/Espagnol ou Français/Catalan) nous permettra non seulement d’enrichir notre compréhension des mécanismes d’accès au sens dans ces langues aux systèmes prosodiques différents, mais aussi d’observer l’influence de la pratique de plusieurs langues à patrons accentuels différents sur la perception et le traitement des indices prosodiques. Le/la candidat(e) sélectionné(e) bénéficiera d’un environnement scientifique stimulant : il/elle sera intégré(e) à l’Unité de Recherche Interdisciplinaire Octogone-Lordat (Toulouse II : http://octogone.univ-tlse2.fr/) et co-encadré(e) par Prof. Barbara Köpke, spécialiste du bilinguisme et par le Dr. Denis Fize au Centre de Recherche Cerveau et Cognition (Toulouse III), chercheur en Neurosciences et spécialiste de neuroimagerie. La recherche se déroulera dans le cadre d’un groupe de recherche piloté par le Dr. Corine Astésano, spécialiste de prosodie, ainsi que par le Dr. Radouane El Yagoubi, spécialiste de neurosciences et psychologie cognitive. Le projet est également adossé à l’ANR PhonIACog (http://aune.lpl-aix.fr/~phoniacog/) porté par le Dr. Corine Astésano. *Bibliographie* Aguilera, M. ; El Yagoubi, R. ; Espesser, R. ; Astésano, C.

French is a language with so-called post-lexical, non-distinctive accentuation, contrary to languages like Spanish, Catalan or Occitan where accentual patterns are represented in the lexical entry. These prosodic characteristics have lead to consider French as a ‘language without accent’ (Rossi, 1980), which makes it difficult for this language to be integrated in models of speech processing (Cutler et al, 1997) since they are mostly based on the metrical and accentual characteristics of languages (Cutler & Norris, 1988). Also, these prosodic characteristics are said to be responsible for some degree of ‘stress deafness’ by French listeners in foreign languages (Dupoux et al, 1997, inter alia). However, if one considers the French accentual system in all its complexity, taking into account the interaction between the primary final accent and the secondary initial accent in the marking of prosodic constituents (Di Cristo, 2000), it becomes possible to postulate a role of French accentuation in speech segmentation and lexical access strategies (Bagou & Frauenfelder, 2006). More particularly, the Initial Accent seems to play a predominant role in the marking of prosodic constituents in French (Astésano et al, 2007) and it is clearly perceived by naïve listeners (Astésano et al, 2012). Recent neuroimaging studies (EEG) indicate that metric incongruity slows lexical access in French (Magne et al, 2007). More recently, we showed in a MisMatch Negativity paradigm that French listeners can readily discriminate stress patterns in French and that the Initial Accent is encoded in long-term memory at the level of the lexical word in French (Aguilera et al, 2014). It is now necessary to consolidate these results by extending our investigations to other EEG paradigms and by adapting the protocols to fMRI, in order to more precisely describe the neural substrates and the temporal dynamics of prosodic cues processing in French. Furthermore, these processing strategies have been observed on monolingual speakers only. Comparing the linguistic strategies of monolingual and bilingual speakers (French, Spanish and/or Catalan monolinguals, French/Occitan – French/Spanish or French/Catalan bilinguals) will not only allow us to considerably enrich our comprehension of lexical access mechanisms in these languages with different prosodic systems, but also to observe the influence of the use of several languages with different stress patterns on the perception and processing of prosodic cues. The selected candidate will benefit from a stimulating scientific environment: (s)he will integrate the Interdisciplinary Research Unit Octogone-Lordat (Toulouse II : http://octogone.univ-tlse2.fr/) and will be co-supervised by Prof. Barbara Köpke, a specialist on bilingualism, and by Dr. Denis Fize at the Research Centre on Brain and Cognition (CERCO, Toulouse III), a researcher in Neurosciences and neuroimaging specialist. The research will take place in the frame of a research group managed by Dr. Corine Astésano, a specialist in prosody, and with Dr. Radouane El Yagoubi, a specialist of cognitive neurosciences and psychology. The project is also connected to the French ANR research project PhonIACog ( http://aune.lpl-aix.fr/~phoniacog/) managed by Dr. Corine Astésano. *Bibliography* Aguilera, M. ; El Yagoubi, R. ; Espesser, R. ; Astésano, C.

[koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Josef Perner (University of Salzburg), Wednesday, June 18, 5PM, Cognitive Development Center

by olivier mascaro

Dear all, This is to remind you that the next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: *Josef Perner **(University of Salzburg).* Date: Wednesday, June 18, 2014, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor *Title: Fractionating Theory of Mind: A meta-analysis of fMRI studies* In a metaanalysis (Schurz et al 2014) of 6 different kinds of theory of mind studies we found three areas that were activated by all kinds: left and right temporo parietal junction (TPJ) and medial frontal cortex. The different types of studies also differed markedly in which other areas they activated. We concentrated in particular on subregions of the TPJ on the left. Tasks that involve perspective differences (e.g., false belief) activate more dorsally in the inferior parietal lobe (IPL) especially the angular gyrus. In further metaanalyses we could show that other tasks that involve perspective differences also activate left IPL: visual perspective taking, mental rotation, and episodic remembering. Moreover, single studies on false signs and identity statements also found activation in left IPL. These results suggest that representation of perspective is an important cognitive ability reflected in the organization of our brain and this substantiates developmental findings that perspective tasks are mastered at a common age of about 4 years. PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.
