The past 15 years have witnessed an increasing interest in the
comparative study of language and music as cognitive systems.
Language and music are uniquely human traits, so it is not
surprising that this interest spans practically all branches of
cognitive science, including psychology, computer science,
linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, and education. Underlying the
study of language and music is the assumption that the comparison
of these two domains can shed light on the structural and
functional properties of each, while also serving as a test case
for theories of how the mind and, ultimately, the brain work. This
book presents an interdisciplinary study of language and music,
bringing together a team of leading specialists across these
fields. The volume is structured around four core areas in which
the study of music and language has been particularly fruitful: (i)
structural comparisons, (ii) evolution, (iii) learning and
processing, and (iv) neuroscience. As such it provides a snapshot
of the different research strands that have focused on language and
music, identifying current trends and methodologies that have been
(or could be) applied to the study of both domains, and outlining
future research directions. This volume is valuable in promoting
the investigation of language and music by fostering
interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration. With an ever
increasing interest in both music cognition and language, this book
will be valuable for students and researchers of psychology,
linguistics, neuroscience, and musicology.
