Phd Thesis, and These Barriers Will Be Revisited Later in This Chapter INSTRUMENTSANDACCESS:THEROLEOF INSTRUMENTSINMUSICANDDISABILITY jacob harrison INSTRUMENTSANDACCESS:THEROLEOFINSTRUMENTS INMUSICANDDISABILITY jacob harrison Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of London Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Queen Mary University of London supervisors: Dr Andrew McPherson April 2020 Jacob Harrison: Instruments and Access: the Role of Instruments in Music and Disability © April 2020 ABSTRACT In the past several decades, society’s understanding of disability has progressed from an individualised model based on functional limitations, to the identification of disabling barriers in society which are imposed upon people living with phys- ical, cognitive and/or sensory impairments. Alongside this, there is increased in- terest in new creative technologies which are capable of addressing these barriers. In this thesis, I explore the development of Accessible Digital Musical Instruments (ADMIs) in terms of their ability to address the technical and social barriers that prevent access to music-making. I begin with a review of relevant literature from the fields of Disability Stud- ies and Digital Musical Instrument (DMI) design. This is followed by interviews with two disabled musicians, who discuss how their approach to music perfor- mance and instrumentation relates to their disability identity. I then report three performer studies with purpose built DMIs. The first study explores adapting the bass guitar for one-handed playing, using a prototype mechanical adaptation. The second study continues the theme of preserving the role of the guitar, but asks questions around the role of interaction modality and global form, and how they relate to an instrument’s identity. The final study is an ethnographic account of a long-term situated research project with a community of learning-disabled mu- sicians, in which we observe how bespoke guitar-like ADMIs are used alongside unadapted instruments. This thesis introduces a ‘performance-focused’ approach to ADMI design, in which sociocultural roles of musical instruments are considered alongside the tech- nical requirements of accessibility. Using theories and methodologies from third- wave HCI, Disability Studies, and DMI design, I aim to interrogate what ‘access to musical performance’ really means. It is hoped that this thesis can provide a critical counterpoint to existing approaches to accessibility in DMI design, and in doing so, introduce methodologies which are capable of capturing and uplifting the creative potential of disabled people. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It would be hard to overstate the level of gratitude I feel towards the friends, family and colleagues who have supported me throughout this PhD. It seems strange to call this work ‘mine’, given that none of it would have been possible without this constant support: from encouraging words, to welcome distractions. I wish to thank everyone who has taken any kind of interest in my work - it’s a privilege to have been able to discuss my research with so many people, and every one of those discussions has shaped the way I have done things. I have been incredibly fortunate to have worked with Dr Andrew McPherson as my supervisor. His constant enthusiasm for the project, generosity with his time and insightful discussion have both supported me to keep going and pushed me to strive towards being the best possible researcher I can be. I am also very grateful to my advisory panel, Simon Dixon and Elaine Chew, for their constructive feedback during the PhD process, as well as my thesis examiners Rebecca Fiebrink and Tom Mitchell, for a rigorous and insightful viva discussion. I have been lucky to be part of two incredible communities at Queen Mary: ev- eryone from the Media and Arts Technology PhD programme, and the Augmented Instruments Lab. The MAT group and Augmented Instruments Lab represent the best qualities of research communities: support, enthusiasm, curiosity, and most of all laughter. In particular, I would like to thank Vanessa, Shivani, Astrid and Sophie for having my back at various points throughout the PhD. Thanks also to Robbie for being an excellent collaborator and a joy to work with. Thanks to Adan and Giulio for various Bela-related technical support; to Courtney for her stats wizardry; Giacomo, Jack, Luis and Andrea for assistance with workshops and Strummi Sessions; Lia for organising our lab concerts; Fabio for ‘kickstarter-of-the- week’ rants, and everyone else who I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside during these five years. I also want to thank the amazing MAT programme staff: Nick, Jonathan, Geetha and Karen for looking after us so well and keeping this exceptional programme running. This work has been supported in many ways by three incredible organisations: the OHMI Trust, Heart n Soul and Drake Music. These three charities are doing vital and inspiring work every day to open up access to music-making for dis- abled people. In particular, I would like to thank Rachel and Stephen from OHMI vi for supporting the adapted bass project; Richard, Lizzie and Ugne from Heart n Soul for supporting the Strummi Sessions; also Lizzie, Jenny, Richard, Ned, Ricky, Rosie and Hattie for welcoming me into the DYOT crew; and Tim and Gawain from Drake Music for inviting me into their wonderful community of instrument- makers. I am looking forward to carrying on this work in the future and hope to maintain the connections I have made with these three great organisations. I am very grateful to those outside Queen Mary who I have worked alongside on this research: Molly Joyce and John Kelly for contributing their time towards the case studies; Alan Chamberlain for collaborating on the Strummi Sessions re- search and formulating our methods and ideas; Charles Matthews, for the inspir- ing and challenging conversations we have every time we bump into each other; Alex Lucas, Joe Wright and Emma Frid for collaborating on our NIME workshop (and hopefully more in the future!). I would like to thank Ben, Sam, Alf, Ollie, Sykes and Rob for being great pals at the times when I needed it most. Thanks and love to the legend that is Zena, not only for her patience and support, but her genuine enthusiasm for what I do - I feel blessed to have been able to waffle on about my work over many pints in the Bank of Friendship. Finally, thanks to the Willingham Crew: Mum, Dad, Theo and Harry. As a family, the last few years have thrown us more than our fair share of challenges, but the seemingly endless reserves of love, patience and resilience that they have shown has been a constant inspiration to keep going. vii DECLARATION I, Jacob Harrison, confirm that the research included within this thesis is my own work or that where it has been carried out in collaboration with, or supported by others, that this is duly acknowledged below and my contribution indicated.

  • Culture in Language and Cognition
    Chapter 37 in Xu Wen and John R. Taylor (Eds.) (2021) The Routledge Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics, pp. 387-407. Downloadable from https://psyarxiv.com/prm7u/ Preprint DOI 10.31234/osf.io/prm7u Culture in language and cognition Chris Sinha Abstract This Handbook chapter provides an overview of the interdisciplinary field of language, cognition and culture. The chapter explores the historical background of research from anthropological, psychological and linguistic perspectives. The key concepts of linguistic relativity, semiotic mediation and extended embodiment are explored and the field of cultural linguistics is outlined. Research methods are critically described. The state of the art in the key research topics of colour, space and time, and self and identities is outlined. Introduction Independence versus interdependence of language, mind and culture Cognitive Linguistics (CL) was forged in the matrix of cognitive sciences as a distinctive and highly interdisciplinary approach in linguistics. Foundational texts such as Lakoff (1987), Langacker (1987) and Talmy (2000) drew upon long but often neglected traditions in cognitive psychology, especially Gestalt psychology (Sinha 2007). A fundamental tenet of CL is that the cognitive capacities and processes that speakers and hearers employ in using language are domain-general: they underpin not only language, but also other areas of cognition and perception. This is in contrast with Generative (or Formal) Linguistics, to which CL historically was a critical reaction, which takes a modular view of both the human language faculty and of its subsystems. For Generative Linguists, not only is the subsystem of syntax autonomous from semantics and phonology, but language as a system is autonomous both from other cognitive processes, and from any influence by the culture and social organization of the language community.

  • 2012 Conference Abstracts
    NLC2012 NEUROBIOLOGY OF LANGUAGE CONFERENCE DONOstIA - san SEbastIAN, SPAIN OctOBER 25TH - 27TH, 2012 ABSTRACTS Welcome to NLC 2012, Donostia-San Sebastián Welcome to the Fourth Annual Neurobiology of Language Conference (NLC) run by the Society for the Neurobiology of Language (SNL). All is working remarkably smoothly thanks to our past president (Greg Hickok), the Board of Directors, the Program Committee, the Nomination Committee, Society Officers, and our meeting planner, Shauney Wilson. A sincere round of thanks to them all! Indeed, another round of thanks to our founders Steve Small and Pascale Tremblay hardly suffices to acknowledge their role in bringing the Society and conference to life. The 3rd Annual NLC in Annapolis was a great success – scientifically and fiscally – with great talks, posters, and a profit to boot (providing a little cushion for future meetings). There were 476 attendees, about one-third of which were students. Indeed, about 40% of SNL members are students – and that’s great because you are the scientists of tomorrow! We want you engaged and present. We thank you and ask for your continued involvement. If there were any complaints, and there weren’t very many, it was the lackluster venue. We believe that the natural beauty of San Sebastián will more than make up for that. The past year has witnessed the launching of our new website (http://www.neurolang.org/) and a monthly newsletter. Read them regularly, and feel free to offer input. It goes without saying that you are the reason this Society was formed and will flourish: please join the Society, please nominate officers and vote for them, please submit abstracts for posters and talks, and please attend the annual meeting whenever possible.

Written Communication. https://doi.org/10.1177/07410883211005558 A reflexive approach to teaching writing: Enablements and constraints in primary school classrooms Ryan, M. Khosronejad, M. Barton, G. Kervin, L. Myhill, D. Keywords: classroom writing conditions; reflexive writing pedagogy; teacher talk; teaching writing; writing; writing knowledge Abstract Writing requires a high level of nuanced decision-making related to language, purpose, audience and medium. Writing teachers thus need a deep understanding of language, process, pedagogy, and of the interface between them. This paper draws on reflexivity theory to interrogate the pedagogical priorities and perspectives of 19 writing teachers in primary classrooms across Australia. Data are comprised of teacher interview transcripts and nuanced time analyses of classroom observation videos. Findings show that teachers experience both enabling and constraining conditions that emerge in different ways in different contexts. Enablements include high motivations to teach writing and a reflective and collaborative approach to practice.

    children Article Multimodal Interaction between a Mother and Her Twin Preterm Infants (Male and Female) in Maternal Speech and Humming during Kangaroo Care: A Microanalytical Case Study Eduarda Carvalho 1,* , Raul Rincon 1, João Justo 2 and Helena Rodrigues 1 1 CESEM-NOVA-FCSH, 1069-061 Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] (R.R.); [email protected] (H.R.) 2 Faculty of Psychology, University of Lisbon, 1649-004 Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The literature reports the benefits of multimodal interaction with the maternal voice for preterm dyads in kangaroo care. Little is known about multimodal interaction and vocal modulation between preterm mother–twin dyads. This study aims to deepen the knowledge about multimodal interaction (maternal touch, mother’s and infants’ vocalizations and infants’ gaze) between a mother and her twin preterm infants (twin 1 [female] and twin 2 [male]) during speech and humming in kangaroo care. A microanalytical case study was carried out using ELAN, PRAAT, and MAXQDA software (Version R20.4.0). Descriptive and comparative analysis was performed using SPSS software (Version V27). We observed: (1) significantly longer humming phrases to twin 2 than to twin 1 (p = 0.002), (2) significantly longer instances of maternal touch in humming than in speech to twin 1 (p = 0.000), (3) a significant increase in the pitch of maternal speech after twin 2 gazed (p = 0.002), Citation: Carvalho, E.; Rincon, R.; and (4) a significant increase of pitch in humming after twin 1 vocalized (p = 0.026).
