Léo Migotti Ramponi

Léo Migotti Ramponi is a Professor specializing in the semantics and pragmatics of non-linguistic representations, aesthetics and philosophy of music, and musical cognition and creative psychology. His research applies formal linguistic methods to analyze meaning in music, dance, gestuality, clothing, and design.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Cognitive Science, École Normale Supérieure - PSL, 2023
• Master of Research in Cognitive Science, École Normale Supérieure, 2019
• Master of Research in Philosophy, Nanterre University, 2019
• Master in Public Policy, specialization in Cultural Management, Sciences Po Paris, 2017
• Bachelor's degree in Science and Technology, specialization in Physics & Chemistry, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, 2015
• Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, specialization in Economics, Sciences Po Paris, 2015

Ramponi's work centers on establishing semantic effects in music through experimental data, investigating how musical properties like pitch, nuances, and timbre evoke objects or situations. He extends this framework to non-linguistic domains including fashion and design, developing comprehensive theories of meaning generation.

His publications reveal consistent focus on music semantics, examining how musical structures generate linguistic phenomena like implicatures and presuppositions, with recent work exploring connections between music and non-auditory representations.
