A method of verbal protocol analysis is presented in which verbal units used to compare sound events are extracted from the protocols and analysed from three general points of view: (1) their logical sense, (2) their stimulus-relatedness, and (3) their semantic content. At each level, several analysis steps progressively label the verbal units from hierarchically superior to inferior levels (with increasing differentiation as one descends the hierarchy). The technique shows great reliability across analyses by independent experts. It was applied to an investigation of timbre comparisons in which Russian nonmusician subjects rated the dissimilarity of timbres presented in pairs and described verbally their similarities and differences. The technique demonstrates an effectiveness in revealing differences in focus on perceptual attributes of timbre that contribute to inter- and intra-subject discrepancies in dissimilarity ratings. Further, as concerns identification of the sound sources producing the events, there is evidence that basic categories are very general in nature in these nonmusician subjects. Cet article presente une methode d'analyse de protocoles verbaux qui extraie les unite s verbales utilise es pour comparer des e ve nements sonores et analyse ces unite s sur trois niveaux ge ne raux: (1) leur sens logique; (2) leur relation avec le stimulus; et (3) leur contenu se mantique. Pour chaque dimension, plusieurs e tapes d'analyse permettent d'e tiqueter progressivement les unite s verbales en passant de niveaux hie rarchiquement supe rieurs a des niveaux infe rieurs (avec une diffe renciation croissante). La technique de montre une grande fiabilite pour des analyses faites par des experts inde pendants. Elle a ete appliquee dans une etude de comparaisons de timbre au cours de laquelle des sujets russes non musiciens e valuaient la dissemblance de timbres presentes en paires et de crivaient verbalement leurs similarite s et diffe rences. La technique se montre efficace pour re ve ler dans quelle mesure des diffe rences dans l'importance accorde e aux attributs perceptifs des timbres contribuent aux divergences intersujets et intrasujets dans l'e valuation de la dissemblance. De plus, les donne es sugge rent que les cate gories de base utilise es par ces sujets non musiciens pour identifier les sources sonores produisant les evenements sont tres generales. |
