One of the things that might influence how potentially iconic items are construed is previous experience and expectations produced by that experience (with one\u2019s own language, or with iconicity). I will present an experiment using a novel artificial language modality based on point patterns, designed to test whether we can induce an expectation for iconicity in the lab and whether that expectation affects the perception of iconicity in new items. We find that participants trained on an iconic language are more likely to select an iconic label for novel ambiguous items than participants trained on an arbitrary language.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The role of expectation and experience in the perception of iconicity Asha Sato (CLE, University of Edinburgh) Tuesday, November 19 11:30am &#8211; 12:30pm Room G32, 7 George Square Iconicity (a perceived resemblance between a communicative form and meaning) is generally accepted to be a subjective phenomenon: people do not always agree whether (or how) a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/2019\/11\/18\/november-19-asha-sato-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">November 19: Asha Sato<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-talks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3328"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3334,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3328\/revisions\/3334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cle.ppls.ed.ac.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
