Workshop on sensory experience, language and knowledge

This workshop is organized by CIRMMT Research Axis 4 (Immersive multimodal systems). It will take place on September 24th, in A412 (New Music Building) with Danièle Dubois, Emeritus researcher, CNRS, LAM, Paris. This workshop is free and open to all. Registration is required.

Description

The workshop focuses on epistemological and methodological issues in collecting and analyzing free-format verbal descriptions, in terms of what is being said (content analysis), how is it being said (linguistic analysis) and what inferences can be made about sensory experiences (psycholinguistics). Speakers will illustrate these analyses with research questions related to the sense of hearing (e.g. sound quality evaluation, music creation process, auditory comfort, soundscapes, user experience). Presentations will be followed by a round table in the afternoon.

Participants can indicate any specific interest they have, or topic they would like to discuss, and/or let us know if they would like to present in the comments field of the registration form.

This workshop has been organized by Catherine Guastavino.
