SUMMARY:The referential value of prosody: A comparative approach to the study of animal vocal communication by Piera Filippi
DESCRIPTION:The referential value of prosody: A comparative approach to the study of animal vocal communication by Piera Filippi (blri)\nRecent studies addressing animal vocal communication have challenged the traditional view of meaning in animal communication as the context-specific denotation of a call. These studies have identified a central aspect of animal vocal communication in the ability to recognize the emotional state of signalers\, or to trigger appropriate behaviors in response to vocalizations. This theoretical perspective is conceptually sound from an evolutionary point of view\, as it assumes that\, rather than merely referring to an object or an event\, animals’ vocalizations are designed to trigger (intentionally\, or not) reactions that may be adaptive for both listeners and signalers. Crucially\, changes in emotional states may be reflected in prosodic modulation of the voice. Research focusing on the expression of emotional states through vocal signals suggests that prosodic correlates of emotional vocalizations are shared across mammalian vocal communication systems. In a recent empirical study\, we showed that human participants use specific acoustic correlates (differences in fundamental frequency and spectral center of gravity) to judge the emotional content of vocalizations across amphibia\, reptilia\, and mammalia. These results suggest that fundamental mechanisms of vocal emotional expression are widely shared among vocalizing vertebrates and could represent an ancient signaling system. But what’s the evolutionary link between the ability to interpret emotional information in animal vocalizations and the ability for human linguistic communication? I suggest to identify this link in the ability to modulate emotional sounds to the aim to trigger behaviors within social interactions. Hence\, I will emphasize the key role of the interactional value of prosody in relation to the evolution and ontogenetic development of language. Within this framework\, I will report on recent empirical data on humans\, showing that the prosodic modulation of the voice is dominant over verbal content and faces in emotion communication. This finding aligns with the hypothesis that prosody is evolutionarily older than the emergence of segmental articulation\, and might have paved the way to its origins. Finally\, implications for the study of the cognitive relationship between linguistic prosody and the ability for music\, which has often been identified as the evolutionary precursor of language\, will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Common ground for action-perception coupling and its consequences for speech processing
DESCRIPTION:Common ground for action-perception coupling and its consequences for speech processing by Sonja A. Kotz (Dept. of Neuropsychology and Psychopharmacology\, Maastricht University\, The Netherlands & Dept. of Neuropsychology\, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences\, Leipzig\, Germany)\nSonja.kotz@maastrichtuniversity.nl\n11h \nWhile the role of forward models in predicting sensory consequences of action is well anchored in a cortico-cerebellar interface\, it is an open question whether this interface is action specific or extends to perceptual consequences of sensory input (e.g. Knolle et al.\, 2012; 2013 a&b). Considering the functional relevance of a temporo-cerebellar-thalamo-cortical circuitry that aligns with well known cerebellar-thalamo-cortical connectivity patterns\, one may consider that cerebellar computations apply similarly to incoming information coding action\, sensation\, or even higher level cognition such as speech and language (e.g. Ramnani\, 2006; Kotz & Schwartze\, 2010\, 2016): (i) they simulate cortical information processing and (ii) cerebellar-thalamic output may provide a possible source for internally generated cortical activity that predicts the outcome of information processing in cortical target areas (Knolle et al.\, 2012; Schwartze & Kotz\, 2013). I will discuss new empirical and patient evidence (motor-auditory coupling and auditory only) in support of these considerations and present an extended cortico-subcortical framework encompassing action-perception coupling\, perception\, and multimodal speech.
