“…Support for the task-relatedness of this component comes from various studies which interpret the late positive component as a reflection of task-specificity and task-sensitivity (cf. Picton, 1992;Coulson, King, & Kutas, 1998;Knaus et al, 2007;Magne et al, 2007;Domahs et al, 2008Domahs et al, , 2012Domahs, Kehrein, Knaus, Wiese, & Schlesewsky, 2009;Schmidt-Kassow & Kotz, 2009a, b;Marie et al, 2011). In general, a comparison between grand average ERP curves for correct and incorrect conditions reveals that stress violations in stems A2 and B evoke less pronounced neural responses than in stems A1 and C; in A2 it is absent, while in stem type B it is found in parietal regions only.…”

“…In the absence of evidence that would uncontroversially point to one or the other foot type, both structures have been postulated on purely theoretical grounds. An iambic foot has been proposed by Halle and Vergnaud (1987), Melvold (1990), Alderete (1995), and Crosswhite (2001), whereas a trochaic foot has been assumed by Idsardi (1992), Halle and Idsardi (1995), and Halle (1997).…”

This paper explores the processing of metrical structure in Russian, a language with free lexical stress. According to the existing theoretical accounts, not all Russian stems are specified for accent in the lexicon. The present study employs event-related potentials (ERPs) to find evidence to support the underlying distinction into accented and unaccented stem types. The results of two EEG experiments using a stress violation paradigm reveal that Russian listeners are highly sensitive to changes of metrical structure and that prosodic manipulations may impede lexical retrieval. In the first experiment, in which the stimuli were not given prior to auditory presentation, metrical violations evoked a pronounced N400 effect for all stem types, and a late positivity for one of the stem types, indicating a difference in stress processing. In the second experiment in which the stimuli were visually introduced before auditory presentation, stress shifts to the second syllable induced late positive component (LPC) indicating an ease in the evaluation of the metrical form. Overall, the present findings partially support the division into lexically specified and unspecified Russian accent types. In addition, the results show a strong correlation between the patterning of ERP components and the direction of stress shift, suggesting a trochee to be the default foot type in Russian.

“…Research has shown that we tend to interpret rhythm in a metrical context (Honing, 2012)-that is, in relation to an organization of the pulse level. Even when we are presented with isochronous sequences of equivalent sounding events, we do not process them as equal, due to the subjective accenting (Brochard et al, 2003). We perceive meter when certain beats in a pulse are perceived as accented in a regularly repeating pattern.…”

Investigating Periodic Body Motions as a Tacit Reference Structure in Norwegian Telespringar Performance

The pulse level in music is often described as a series of isochronous beats that provides an underlying reference structure against which we perceive rhythmic patterns. This notion is challenged by music styles that seem to feature an underlying reference structure that consists of beats of uneven duration, such as certain traditional Scandinavian dance music genres in so-called asymmetrical meter. This study investigates periodic body motion as a reference structure in a specific style of traditional Norwegian dance music called telespringar. The intimate relationship between music and motion is often highlighted in rhythm studies of telespringar, so this study encompasses both sound and motion analyses. It is based on a motion capture study of three telespringar performers; one fiddler and two dancers. Motion analysis of the fiddler's foot stamping indicates a stable long-medium-short duration pattern at beat level. Motion analysis of the dancers' vertical motion of the hips revealed a periodic pattern in synchrony with the beat duration pattern determined by the fiddler's foot stamping. This result implies that the underlying rhythmic structures in telespringar depend upon a shared and embodied knowledge of the underlying asymmetrical reference structure that is implicit in the production and perception of telespringar.

“…Metrical patterns need not be consistently emphasized with relatively strong and weak accents in order to be perceived (London, 2004) just as tonally stable pitches do not need to be emphasized in order for a tonal hierarchy to be understood (Larson, 1997). In fact, much evidence points to listeners imposing hierarchies with very little musical context in both metric (Brochard et al, 2003;Desain & Honing, 2003;Palmer & Krumhansl, 1990) and tonal domains (Cuddy & Badertscher, 1987;Smith & Schmuckler, 2004).…”

Relationships Between Tonal Stability and Metrical Accent in Monophonic Contexts

Recent corpus analyses have provided evidence for interactions between tonal and metric hierarchies by illustrating that tonally stable pitches occur disproportionately often on strong metrical positions while tonally unstable pitches occur more frequently on weaker metrical positions. This study begins to investigate whether this observed property is salient to listeners' identification of metrical accents: by presenting participants with tonally-determined but metrically ambiguous beat patterns, we ask how tonal hierarchies might influence listeners' interpretation of these metricalaccent patterns (as measured via a tapping task). In Experiment 1, participants heard patterns alternating tonally stable and unstable pitches, and it was found that tonal stability did not affect metric interpretations. In Experiments 2 and 3, listeners heard an atonal artificial hierarchy prefaced by an exposure session using music generated by this artificial hierarchy; exposure did not influence the subsequent tapping task. Flipping the paradigm, in Experiment 4, participants heard a metrically defined but tonallyambiguous melody, and selected the most appropriate chord. The metrical context affected participants' harmonization choices. Although a tendency to align strong beats with chord tones accounted for some of the data, further analysis shows that changing the metrical context influenced chord choices, providing evidence for a joint tonal-metric hierarchy.
