dans le cadre COVALI

In this COVALI workshop, we will be interested in the spatiality of sound, as it is discussed by philosophers and cognitivists and as it is reflected in languages (according to a limited data sample).
First, we are going to focus on three major theories of how humans experience sound location: (i) as entities located with the sound source (distal theory); (ii) as entities moving through the medium (e.g. air; medial theory); (iii) as entities located with the experiencer, i.e. where their auditory organs are (proximal theory).
In the second part of the seminar, I will present some linguistic data collected from contemporary fiction. This pilot corpus contains tokens that refer to auditory experiences, particularly to those that are anchored spatially (e.g. I heard a cry downstairs or A rattling sound was coming from the garden). The idea is to see (i) whether the theories of spatial hearing discussed above can be matched onto the linguistic data; (ii) if yes, what are the most frequent conceptualizations; (iii) whether there are inter-linguistic differences in preference of different conceptualizations; (iv) how could one account for the intra-linguistic variation. The seminar is organised, inter alia, to help the author on the initial stage of the project and to promote discussion on this under-explored topic.
