Ein Longread für die Feiertage, Thema das mir zentral ist: Die Wahrnehmungsbeziehungen von Musik und Sprache, oder anders gesagt: von Klang und Konzept.
Abstract
Many studies have revealed shared music–language processing resources by finding an influence of music harmony manipulations on concurrent language processing. However, the nature of the shared resources has remained ambiguous. They have been argued to be syntax specific and thus due to shared syntactic integration resources. An alternative view regards them as related to general attention and, thus, not specific to syntax. The present experiments evaluated these accounts by investigating the influence of language on music. Participants were asked to provide closure judgements on harmonic sequences in order to assess the appropriateness of sequence endings. At the same time participants read syntactic garden-path sentences. Closure judgements revealed a change in harmonic processing as the result of reading a syntactically challenging word. We found no influence of an arithmetic control manipulation (experiment 1) or semantic garden-path sentences (experiment 2). Our results provide behavioural evidence for a specific influence of linguistic syntax processing on musical harmony judgements. A closer look reveals that the shared resources appear to be needed to hold a harmonic key online in some form of syntactic working memory or unification workspace related to the integration of chords and words. Overall, our results support the syntax specificity of shared music–language processing resources.
@Johannes: Danke für den Artikel, von mir aus gerne mehr dieser Art hier :-)
Lies mal das Kapitel zur Grouping Structure in der GTTM, da wurde sowas 1983 beschrieben (aber nicht experimentell getestet). Damit kann man sowas erklären und manipulieren.
Der Text ist eine Grouping Structure Preference Rule, die die gesamte Grouping Structure kippt.
