A simple ‘‘grammar’’ is proposed to describe how ‘‘auditory subevents,’’ i.e., onsets, terminations, fillings, and silences, are connected perceptually. A rapid increase of sound intensity in a certain frequency range serves as a perceptual clue of an onset, whereas a rapid decrease serves as a clue of a termination. A thick distribution of sound energy for a certain duration in the time–frequency plane indicates a filling (or fillings), and a thin distribution of energy for a certain duration after a thicker part indicates a silence (or silences). The auditory system seems to interpret these clues according to the grammar, which allows three patterns of ‘‘auditory events’’: (1) an onset followed by a silence, (2) an onset and a filling followed by another onset, and (3) an onset, a filling, and a termination followed by a silence. Clearer clues and contexts facilitate the formation of auditory events. The proximity principle works when onsets and terminations are organized into an ‘‘auditory stream,’’ wh...
