Analysis on Code-Switching in Pinoy Songs

Code-switching in songs is one of the recent techniques used by songwriters in bilingual and multilingual countries which has been proven to achieve commercial success within the market of popular music. The study which examined the types, functions, and pedagogical implications of code-switching in songs, utilized mixed methods in research and homogeneous purposive sampling in generating 15 select Filipino popular songs for content analysis. This study revealed the types of code-switching in songs which are classified into three groups which are the word structure, sentence structure, and song structure. The type of code-switching according to word structure is intra-word switching. According to sentence structure, the types of code-switching are inter-sentential switching, intra-sentential switching, and tag-switching. Moreover, according to song structure, the types of code-switching are intra-sectional switching and inter-sectional switching. Evidently, the seven functions of code-switching identified by Bloom and Gumperz are revealed in the study. It is, therefore, recommended that using code-switching in crafting songs may be taught to students. Furthermore, future research may be done for a more in-depth investigation of code-switching in songs. Language research teachers and linguistic scholars may use this study as a reference in studying the code-witching phenomenon in the languages and songs in their respective countries. A monograph on code-switching in songs may also be constructed.

Perineuronal nets in HVC and plasticity in male canary song

Songbirds learn their vocalizations during developmental sensitive periods of song memorization and sensorimotor learning. Some seasonal songbirds, called open-ended learners, recapitulate transitions from sensorimotor learning and song crystallization on a seasonal basis during adulthood. In adult male canaries, sensorimotor learning occurs each year in autumn and leads to modifications of the syllable repertoire during successive breeding seasons. We previously showed that perineuronal nets (PNN) expression in song control nuclei decreases during this sensorimotor learning period. Here we explored the causal link between PNN expression in adult canaries and song modification by enzymatically degrading PNN in HVC, a key song control system nucleus. Three independent experiments identified limited effects of the PNN degradation in HVC on the song structure of male canaries. They clearly establish that presence of PNN in HVC is not required to maintain general features of crystallized song. Some suggestion was collected that PNN are implicated in the stability of song repertoires but this evidence is too preliminary to draw firm conclusions and additional investigations should consider producing PNN degradations at specified time points of the seasonal cycle. It also remains possible that once song has been crystallized at the beginning of the first breeding season, PNN no longer play a key role in determining song structure; this could be tested by treatments with chondroitinase ABC at key steps in ontogeny. It would in this context be important to develop multiple stereotaxic procedures allowing the simultaneous bilateral degradation of PNN in several song control nuclei for extended periods.

Sitrilakiyangalil Kavadi Sindhu

Among the short stories, Pillai Tamil, Kalambakam, Sathakam, Malai, Andhadhi, etc. are divided into literary structure and song structure. Pallu, Kuravanchi, Nondi, Kuluvam, Makudi etc. are the artistic features that are found in them. Addresses, orchestras, etc., were also art literature of the time. Yet there are some as musicians in giving hints about music. Kavadi sindhu, Vazhinadai sindhu, etc. are so situated. The purpose of this study is to convey the message of music in Kavadi sindhu based on the idea that everything gives an idea about music.

Like Father Like Son: Cultural and Genetic Contributions to Song Inheritance in an Estrildid Finch

Social learning of vocalizations is integral to song inheritance in oscine passerines. However, other factors, such as genetic inheritance and the developmental environment, can also influence song phenotype. The relative contributions of these factors can have a strong influence on song evolution and may affect important evolutionary processes such as speciation. However, relative contributions are well-described only for a few species and are likely to vary with taxonomy. Using archived song data, we examined patterns of song inheritance in a domestic population of Java sparrows (Lonchura oryzivora), some of which had been cross-fostered. Six-hundred and seventy-six songs from 73 birds were segmented and classified into notes and note subtypes (N = 22,972), for which a range of acoustic features were measured. Overall, we found strong evidence for cultural inheritance of song structure and of the acoustic characteristics of notes; sons’ song syntax and note composition were similar to that of their social fathers and were not influenced by genetic relatedness. For vocal consistency of note subtypes, a measure of vocal performance, there was no apparent evidence of social or genetic inheritance, but both age and developmental environment influenced consistency. These findings suggest that high learning fidelity of song material, i.e., song structure and note characteristics, could allow novel variants to be preserved and accumulate over generations, with implications for evolution and conservation. However, differences in vocal performance do not show strong links to cultural inheritance, instead potentially serving as condition dependent signals.

Bentuk Komposisi Musik Tradisional Balo-Balo Grup Kampung Tirang Di Kecamatan Tegal Barat Kota Tegal

The purpose of this study was to determine the composition of the traditional music Balo-balo group of Kampung Tirang in Tegal City. The research approach used by the author is descriptive qualitative. The research location is in Murareja Village, West Tegal District, Tegal City. Data collection techniques in this case use observation, interview and documentation techniques. The source of the data that is the focus of the author is the chairman and personnel of the Tirang Village group, who are then analyzed using analysis techniques according to the basic framework that has been prepared. The results of the study indicate that the traditional Balo-balo music of the Kampung Tirang group is an art that uses a pitchbled membranophone musical instrument, namely kencer or tambourine, main drum, kempling, kempyang and gong tambourine. In the lyrics, the group uses the original Tegal language or deles dialect, for example in the song entitled "Balo-balo Pitutur". The song is a three part song. Whereas in the main elements of the music, the Kampung Tirang group emphasizes the rhythmic patterns of the game which are very visible but still form harmony. In the main melody, the song Balo-balo Pitutur uses the Tegalan style with elements of pentatonic scales. The songs of the Kampung Tirang group are packaged with a humorous or joking concept, so that the expression in the music is very active, energetic but still structured, even though the song structure does not use a symmetrical scheme in general, but uses a three-part symmetric theory.

Bioacoustics of poorly known Poecilimon taxa (Insecta: Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) with redescriptions of P. pechevi and P. stschelkanovzevi

The genus Poecilimon has been object of several studies dealing with its systematics, sound communication and evolution. Yet, published data contradict in the classification, while many taxa are still insufficiently known. In the present study we supplement the knowledge of 13 poorly known species and one additional subspecies with data on their sound communication and/or morphology. Most species concerned here are classified within two acoustic groups. First group includes P. celebi, P. obtusicercus and P. toros, showing typical characteristics of the P. syriacus group. Second group is more heterogeneous. Among that, P. pechevi, P. armeniacus, P. harveyi, P. guichardi, P. haydari, P. doga, P. davisi and P. excisus present a song pattern similar to that of P. ampliatus. In addition, P. ataturki is also quite similar in basic song structure to the latter but differs in its fine song structure. Poecilimon stschelkanovzevi, with unclear relationships, is described morphologically in detail. The present study provides hints for solving some disagreement between recent revisions, proposing unification of the Poecilimon celebi with P. syriacus group and opening discussion based on close relationships of the groups ampliatus, armeniacus, davisi, luschani and the species P. guichardi on one hand, while the complex P. ataturki/glandifer shows significant differences on the other. The acoustic peculiarities of the ampliatus group allies are discussed in an evolutionary light.
