Experimental Evidence

I will explore issues such as categorical vs. gradual meaning interpretation as well as socio- indexical and individual cognitive variability in the tune-meaning mapping, both in production and offline/online perception studies. Among the topics explored: epistemic bias, empathy and intonation meaning perception, ‘ideal observer’ model, predictability. Data for various languages will be reviewed (French, Italian, American English, Catalan).
