Language, music, and the brain : a mysterious relationship / edited by Michael A. Arbib. - Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press, (c)2013. - 1 online resource (xiii, 662 pages) - Strüngmann Forum reports .



An expanded perspective -- Action, emotion, and the semantics -- Structure -- Integration -- Development, evolution, and culture.

Through four key themes, this book explores the relationships between language, music, and the brain and the crosstalk between them: song and dance as a bridge between music and language; multiple levels of structure from brain to behaviour to culture; the semantics of internal and external worlds and the role of emotion; and the evolution and development of language. Specially commissioned expositions of current research provide access to experts across disciplines and to non-experts.
