[koglist] [Fwd: Könyvbemutató a PTE-n: Pléh Csaba Pszicholingvisztika (2014) Akadémiai kiadó]

by "Dr. Pléh Csaba"

Tisztelt kolléga! Ezúton szeretnénk meghívni A PTE Nyelvtudományi tanszék szervezésében megrendezésre kerülő könyvbemutatóra. Legyenek kedvesek terjeszteni kollégáik, hallgatóik, valamint az érdeklődők körében. Megjelent Pléh Csaba és Lukács Ágnes szerkesztésében a *Pszicholingvisztika 1-2. Magyar Pszicholingvisztkai kézikönyv*. A könyvek mögött közel egy évtized munkája áll. A könyv bemutatója a Pécsi Tudományegyetemen *2014. szeptember 17-én* délután* 16:00 órakor *lesz a PTE BTK *E 432-es előadójában.* Felvezetőt tart: Schnell Zsuzsanna, a PTE Nyelvtudományi Tanszék munkatársa. A könyvet bemutatja a szerkesztő: Prof. Dr. Pléh Csaba Akit a könyv megvásárlása érdekel, keresse a szerkesztőt ( pleh.csaba(a)ektf.hu) kedvezményes árú példányokért (A bolti 10.000 Ft-os ár helyett a helyszínen 6100 Ft-ért kapható). Szervezők: Schnell Zsuzsanna (PTE BTK Nyelvtudományi Tanszék) Szabó Veronika, Signum kutatószeminárium (PTE BTK Nyelvtudományi Tanszék) Prof. Dr. Komlósi László (PTE BTK Angol Nyelvészeti Tanszék, BTK Nyelvészeti Doktori Iskola) Dr. Lábadi Beatrix (PTE BTK Pszichológia Tanszék) A pszicholingvisztika a nyelv használatának, megértésének és elsajátításának mentális folyamatait, a használók értelmi, érzelmi és társas működéseit érintő mechanizmusait vizsgálja. Interdiszciplináris terület, amelynek gyökerei a nyelvészetben és a pszichológiában lelhetők fel. Fél évszázada létezik komolyabb formában, vagyis viszonylag fiatal, ám az elmúlt évtizedekben – az ihletését adó területek, vagyis a nyelvészet, a pszichológia és az idegtudomány elméleti és technikai változásainak, továbbá a nyelv használatát és vizsgálatának lehetőségeit is érintő, gyorsan változó műszaki-informatikai környezetnek köszönhetően – sokrétűen fejlődött. A *Magyar pszicholingvisztikai kézikönyv*, amely a BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszékén és az Eszterházy Károly Főiskola Megismerés és Kommunikáció Kutatócsoportjában készült hiányt pótol a hazai felsőoktatásban. Magyar kutatók régóta képviselik ezt a területet, és több szak tantervében is szerepel a pszicholingvisztika tantárgy, kézikönyvünk az első próbálkozás arra, hogy teljesen megfeleljen a nyelvre érvényesített interdiszciplináris szemléletnek. Egyszerre jellemző rá a bölcsészeti, a társadalomtudományi és a természettudományos szemlélet alkalmazása, módszerei közé tartozik a megfigyelés, a kísérletezés, és időnként a tömeges adatok elemzése egyaránt. Könyvünk oktatási anyagként szolgál a felsőbb éves pszichológus, nyelvész, gyógypedagógus, medikus diákok számára, ugyanakkor legalább egy évtizedig érvényes összefoglaló és kiindulási irodalom lehet a kutatóknak is. Őszintén reméljük, hogy a kézikönyv alapvető tananyag lesz nyelvészeti és pszichológiai mesterképzésekben, doktori programokban. ------------------------------ Pécsi Tudományegyetem Magyarország első egyeteme – 1367 Csaba Pléh Csaba e. tanár professor of psychology ed. chief Hungarian Review of Psychology member, Academia Europaea Hungarian Academy of Sciences Eszterházy College, Eger 3300 Eszterházy tér 1 HUNGARY 36(30)3493735 pleh.csaba(a)ektf.hu

It follows the successful 2010 European Science Foundation-EMBO symposium "Functional Neurobiology in Minibrains" (meeting report: Cobb, EMBO reports 2011, 389), which fostered new interactions within an interdisciplinary community of molecular biologists, ecologists and engineers. The meeting will explore progress made during the past 4 years towards a multi-level understanding of how the fly brain functions. We will examine how behaviour emerges from neural circuit computations, how these principles can inspire new technologies and how biologists can benefit from robotics to rigorously test mechanistic hypotheses. As this undertaking necessitates new methods, we will include researchers on another genetic model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans, in which many interdisciplinary approaches have been pioneered that could be readily transferred to Drosophila. read more <https://go.madmimi.com/redirects/1405418416-e2a87697581730cbcbebd98321e0376…> [More] Invited speakers will include Richard Benton, University of Lausanne, Switzerland | Alexander Borst, Max-Planck-Institute for Neurobiology, Germany | Albert Cardona, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ashburn, USA | Netta Cohen, University of Leeds, UK | Benjamin de Bivort, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA | Michael Dickinson, University of Washington, Seattle, USA | Bertram Gerber, Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, Magdeburg, Germany | Miriam Goodman, Stanford School of Medicine, USA | Vivek Jayaraman, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ashburn, USA | Ilona Kadow, Max-Planck Institute for Neurobiology, Martinsried, Germany | Cecilia Laschi, The Biorobotics Institute, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa IT | Aurel Lazar, Columbia University, New York, USA | Anthony Leonardo, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ashburn, USA | Shih Chii Liu, University of Zurich, Switzerland | Shawn Lockery, University of Oregon, Eugene, USA | Matthieu Louis, Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona, Spain | Christen Mirth, Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia, Oeiras, Portugal | Michael Nitabach, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, USA | Akinao Nose , Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo JP | Carlos Ribeiro, Champalimaud Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal | Silke Sachse, Max-Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany | William Schafer, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge UK | Greg Stephens, University of Amsterdam, Netherland | David Stern, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Ashburn, USA | Glenn Turner, Cold Spring Harbor, New York, USA | Barbara Webb, University of Edinburgh, UK | Rob Wood, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA | Bill Schafer, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK How to Participate Attendance is possible only after successful application.

[koglist] ELTE Kognitív Péntek: Krajcsi Attila - CogStat. Egyszerűen használható nyílt forrású statisztikai csomag

by Petia Kojouharova

Szeretettel várunk minden érdeklődőt a Kognitív Péntek következő előadására: *Krajcsi Attila - CogStat. Egyszerűen használható nyílt forrású statisztikai csomag* Dátum: június 26. (csütörtök), 15 óra Helyszín: ELTE PPK Pszichológiai Intézet (1064 Budapest, Izabella utca 46), 403-as terem A CogStat, egy alternatív formátumú statisztikai program prototípusa. A program eltér a legtöbb korábbi statisztikai csomagtól, mert (1) a szakmai kérdések köré csoportosul, és nem a statisztikai eljárások köré, (2) automatikusan választja ki a megfelelő eljárásokat, (3) a grafikus és a numerikus megjelenítést mindig együtt végzi, (4) csak az értelmezés szempontjából legrelevánsabb adatokat mutatja, és lehetőleg APA formátumban. A program hatékonyabb megoldást adhat (1) a kutatóknak, mert sok elemzést egyetlen menüpontban, egyszerűen lehet elérni, (2) statisztikát tanulóknak, mert bemutatja az elemzések mögötti döntéseket, és grafikus megjelenítéssel érthetőbbé teszi az eredmények mögötti adatokat, (3) a statisztikusoknak, mert eszközt ad az új eljárások egyszerűbb elterjesztésére, és az elemzési konszenzusok kialakítására. A CogStat Pythonban írt, nyílt forrású, ingyenes szoftver.

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.

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.
