Hierarchic structure in pictorial communication
Creating pictures is a unique human capacity, yet pictorial communication has received less focus in the study of cognition than other domains like language. Indeed, graphics are often viewed as reflecting perception alone with no complex representational properties like the hierarchic combinatoriality permeating throughout linguistic structures. Yet, various theories have argued that graphics also use hierarchic combinatoriality, both in individual pictures and visual narrative sequences, raising an overarching question of: Is there evidence of hierarchic combinatoriality in graphic expression, and what is its relationship with combinatoriality in language? The PICTREE project therefore…
