The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by Manfred Bierwisch (Humboldt Universität) Date: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 - 15:30 - 17:00 (please note the unusual timing!!!!) Host: Csaba Pléh Language and Music - Types of Signs and their Consequences Language and Music share acoustic signals and interesting aspects of structure, but for essentially different reasons and with crucially different consequences. Given Peirce's distinction of indexical, iconic, and symbolic signs, Language is essentially based on combinatorial symbols, while Music consists in the iconic combination of sounds, with fundamental different consequences for their respective combinatorial structure. Of particular interest is the integration of the principles of both types of signs in singing, as will be illustrated in a characteristic example. Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.
