Abstract

Music or sound professionals use specific terminology to communicate about timbre. Some key terms do not come from the sound domain and do not have a clear definition due to their metaphorical nature. This work aims to reveal shared meanings of four well-used timbre attributes: bright, warm, round, and rough. We conducted two complementary studies with French sound and music experts (e.g., composers, sound engineers, sound designers, musicians, etc.). First, we led interviews to gather definitions and instrumental sound examples for the four attributes (N = 32). Second, using an online survey, we tested the relevance and consensus on multiple descriptions most frequently evoked during the interviews (N = 51). The analysis of the rich corpus of verbalizations from the interviews yielded the main description strategies used by the experts, namely acoustic, metaphorical, and source-related. We also derived definitions for the attributes based on significantly relevant and consensual descriptions according to the survey results. Importantly, the definitions rely heavily on metaphorical descriptions. In sum, this study presents an overview of the shared meaning and perception of four metaphorical timbre attributes in the French language.
隐喻性声音属性的共有意义研究
音乐或声音专业人士使用特定的术语来交流音色。一些关键术语并非来自声音领域,由于其隐喻性而没有明确的定义。这项工作旨在揭示四种常用的音色属性的共同含义:明亮,温暖,圆形和粗糙。我们与法国音响和音乐专家(如作曲家、音响工程师、音响设计师、音乐家等)进行了两项互补研究。首先,我们通过访谈收集了四个属性的定义和器乐声音示例(N = 32)。其次,使用在线调查,我们测试了在访谈中最常引起的多个描述的相关性和共识(N = 51)。通过对访谈中丰富的语言描述语料库的分析,得出了专家使用的主要描述策略,即声学、隐喻和源相关策略。根据调查结果,我们还根据显著相关和共识的描述推导了属性的定义。重要的是,这些定义严重依赖于隐喻性描述。总之,本研究概述了法语中四种隐喻音色属性的共同意义和感知。
