Conference will be organized by St. Petersburg State University, St.
Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory and Vaganova Ballet
Academy.
The goal of the International Scientific Conference is to create a
comfortable interdisciplinary platform for a fruitful broad discussion
of the problems of interaction in the conditions of the modern
information world of the main semiotic systems that ensure human
communication — language, music and gesture.
Among the topics proposed for discussion during the conference are the
following:
1. The structure of linguistic and musical knowledge, features of
their functioning and formation; implicit and explicit components;
general and different in the perception and understanding of music and
language.
2. Non-verbal means of communication; prosodic characteristics of
speech, their perception; gestures, body language and its interaction
with verbal communication.
3. Issues of language acquisition and musical skills; interaction
between language and music in the process of their acquisition;
interaction between cognitive systems responsible for the perception
of musical and linguistic text.
4. Music informatics, computer and electroacoustic music; development
of electronic musical instruments and performance principles; neural
networks in music and language.
5. Automatic processing of language and music data; quantitative
studies of musical and linguistic text.
6. Multimedia music and art, perception of body movements and
choreographic gestures, simultaneous processing of the signs of
different nature.
Three special sections are planned within the framework of the
conference:
1. Semiotics of gesture (in memory of G.E. Kreidlin)
2. Music across the sciences (in memory of N.I. Degtyareva)
3. Student poster section
