ICON-ECO-SPEECH Iconicity and ecology of languages: new insight
Coordinator: MINISTERIO DA CIENCIA, TECNOLOGIA E INOVAÇÃO (BR)
In the present project, we propose a pioneer research that will provide new insights into human language ecology and evolution by exploring three rarely studied natural traditional oral practices with a multidisciplinary methodology. These are alternative speech forms that always rely on a spoken language and that consist of mapping voiced speech signals into very different types of sounds, such as whistling, instrumental music and animal calls. These speech transformations are respectively called ‘whistled languages’, ‘the singing/speaking mode of musical instruments’ (or ‘instrumental speec…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €8k awarded to the consortium.
