Entrevista com Graham Welch por Silvia Sobreira
No full textGraham Welch é muito respeitado e conhecido em todo o mundo. Seu interesse pelo desenvolvimento da voz nas crianças tem lançado luz sobre a área do canto na Educação Musical. Ele tem atuado como consultor especialista para departamentos e agências governamentais em Reino Unido, Itália, Suécia, Estados Unidos, Ucrânia, Emirados Árabes Unidos, África do Sul e Argentina, com foco em aspectos da educação musical e educação de professores. O número de suas publicações se aproxima dos trezentos e cinquenta, e elas abarcam o desenvolvimento musical e a educação musical, a educação de professores, a psicologia da música, o canto e a ciência da voz, bem como a música na educação especial. Mas as pessoas não conhecem muito sua experiência como professor de música nas escolas inglesas no início de sua carreira, um “detalhe” que realmente faz diferença e marca sua peculiaridade na área. Nesta entrevista, realizada no dia primeiro de fevereiro de 2016, Welch fala sobre suas experiências e problemas relacionados à Educação Musical. // Graham Welch is very respected and known all over the world. His interest in the development of voice in children has shed light on the singing area in Music Education. He has acted as a consultant for government departments and agencies in the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden, the United States, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa and Argentina, focusing on aspects of music education and teacher education. The number of publications approaches the three hundred and fifty, and they include musical development and music education, teacher education, music psychology, singing and voice science, as well as music in special education. But people do not know much about his experience as a music teacher in English schools at the beginning of his career, a "detail" that really makes a difference and marks his background in the area. In this interview, held on February 1, 2016, Welch talks about his experiences and problems related to Music Education
Singing as Inter- and Intra-personal Communication
No full textHuman vocalization contains key essences of our musical development and fosters our earliest abilities to communicate musically. Speech melodies are the first linguistic elements experienced and mastered, and are indistinguishable from the melodic precursors of singing as essential elements in intra- and inter-personal musical communication. Singing as communication originates in vocal pitch contours whose musical intervals are exploited by caregivers in infant-directed speech to foster language development. Similar, but more explicit, features are evidenced in caregivers’ infant- directed singing, such as in lullabies and play songs. These basic musical elements of communication can be perceived in utero and underpin the infant’s subsequent vocalizations and musical behaviors. Additionally, the underlying integration of emotion with perception and cognition generates a network of linked vocal and emotional behaviors that are central to human communication. The chapter will examine the growing evidence for musical communication as integral to human vocalization and emotional expression
O canto como comunicação interpessoal e intrapessoal* [Singing as Inter- and Intra-personal Communication]

our earliest abilities to communicate musically.
Speech melodies are the first linguistic

of singing as essential elements in intraand
inter-personal musical communication.
Singing as communication originates in vocal
pitch contours whose musical intervals are
exploited by caregivers in infant-directed
speech to foster language development.
Similar, but more explicit, features are evidenced
in caregivers’ infant-directed singing,
such as in lullabies and play songs. These
basic musical elements of communication
can be perceived in utero and underpin the
infant’s subsequent vocalizations and musical
behaviors. Additionally, the underlying

and emotional expression.
A vocalização humana apresenta pontos chave do nosso desenvolvimento musical e é ela que promove nossas primeiras mani- festações de habilidades para podermos nos comunicar musicalmente. As melodias da fala constituem os primeiros elementos linguís- ticos a serem vivenciados e dominados, e são precursores indistinguíveis do canto melódico, posto que são elementos essenciais na comu- nicação musical intrapessoal e interpessoal. O canto como forma de comunicação tem origem nos contornos melódicos vocais, cujos intervalos musicais são explorados na fala diri- gida do adulto1 (pais, responsáveis ou cuida- dores)2 ao bebê3 (lactente ou criança) para promover o desenvolvimento da linguagem. Características semelhantes, porém, mais explícitas, são evidenciadas no canto dirigido do adulto ao bebê através de canções de ninar e de canções de brincar. Esses elementos musicais básicos da comunicação podem ser percebidos ainda no útero e formam as bases para as vocalizações e comportamentos musicais subsequentes do bebê. Além disso, a integração fundamental da emoção com a percepção e a cognição dá origem a uma rede de comportamentos vocais e emocionais interligados que são centrais para a comu- nicação humana. O capítulo investigará a crescente evidência da comunicação musical como parte integral da vocalização humana e da expressão emocional
Os equívocos a respeito da Música
No full textThis chapter is a translation and update of “The Misunderstanding of Music”. The original text was written in 2001 for an inaugural lecture delivered at the Institute of Education (formerly University of London). The text was reviewed, updated and translated for this book in collaboration with Silvia Sobreira and Marcelo Sampaio. Although not well known in Brazil, Dr. Welch is respected worldwide for his studies on the development of children’s voices. In his text he shows that vocal development is related to the individual’s social context and his/her neuropsychobiological development. He emphasizes that musical behaviour is a characteristic common to all human beings, not just for those considered “talented”
Language Engineering in Grammatical Framework (GF)
No full textThis thesis describes a number of practical experiments rather than theoreticalinvestigations in the area of natural language processing. The basis forthe work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF). It is a very complexsystem, which comprises among other things a grammar formalism based ontype theory and its implementation written in Haskell. GF is intended forhigh-quality machine translation (of INTERLINGUA type) in the restrictedlanguage domains.The primary concern of this thesis is however limited to the usage of GFas a piece of software. The main results are: Implementing a syntax editor, which provides a graphical user interface(GUI) for the command-line GF core. Writing a part of code for automatic generation of gramletspure Javaprograms with limited (compared to GF) functionality that can be runon PDA (Portable Device Assistants) and as applets in a browser. Writing the Russian resource grammar that takes care of the most basicmorphological and syntactic rules and serves as a standard libraryfor building application grammars (describing restricted language domains)in Russian.These results contribute to language engineering in GF on two differentlevels: Author level (end-user) constructing sentences in natural languages. Grammarian level building a grammar description, which is laterused on the author level.The last part of the thesis deals with a non-linguistic domain. In thatexperiment we try to apply functional parsing technique to the well-knownproblem of protein secondary structure prediction (bioinformatics)

Language Engineering in Grammatial Framework (GF)
No full textThe basis for the work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF)a grammar
formalism based on type theory. It is also a powerful language processor
that provides a convenient framework for various multilingual applications.
The primary concern of this thesis is the usage of GF as a piece of software.
The main results are:
Implementing a syntax editor, which provides a graphical user interface
(GUI) for the command-line GF core.
Writing the Russian resource grammar that takes care of the most
basic morphological and syntactic rules and serves as a standard library
for building application grammars (describing sublanguage domains) in
Russian.
These results contribute to language engineering in GF on two different
levels:
Author level (end-user)constructing documents in natural languages.
Grammarian level building a grammar description, which is later
used on the author level. One can also distinguish between application
and resource grammars. An application grammar focuses of a particular
sub-language domain, while resource grammar is a general-purpose
grammar that forms a basis for application grammars
