This project is a pilot survey which aims to identify 10 words that are considered “sweet” and 10 words that are considered “bitter”. These words will be used in a later study in which investigators will compare innovative computational reconstructions of contrapuntal sweetness of selected early musical works with modern listeners’ aesthetic responses, and consider how auditory experience may influence such responses. However, before this can occur, a pilot survey is needed to identify sweet and bitter words. This is the goal of the present project.
