13 Feb '17

Please see the below, forwarded on behalf of Daniel Harasim: This Thursday, Daniel Harasim will give a talk on the topic of Musical Syntax in the department of linguistics. All details and the abstract of his talk can be viewed below. *Speaker:* Daniel Harasim *Title:* Musical Syntax *Date: *Thursday, February 16th *Time: *12am *Place: *room 177, Department of Linguistics, 1085 Dr. Penfield *Abstract:* Musical structures can be formalized similar to the syntax of natural languages. The syntax of western music is based on a harmonic tension-resolution structure that is intuitively perceivable. In this talk, I will shortly explain musical syntax using music text book examples of Jazz. Then I will focus on the formalization of musical syntax using dependency structures in a generative framework. I will end by explaining core challenges of parsing musical structures and its implementation using a meta-rule formalism in a general parsing framework.
