Thompson-Schill, S. et al. (2013). Multiple Levels of Structure in Language and Music. In: Language, Music, and the Brain: A Mysterious Relationship, ed. Michael A. Arbib, Strüngmann Forum Reports, vol. 10. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. ISBN: 9780262018104 Abstract ![]() The book looks beyond mere auditory experience, probing the embodiment that links speech to gesture and music to dance. The study of the brains of monkeys and songbirds illuminates hypotheses on the evolution of brain mechanisms that support music and language, while the study of infants calibrates the developmental timetable of their capacities. The result is a unique book that will interest any reader seeking to learn more about language or music and will appeal especially to readers intrigued by the relationships of language and music with each other and with the brain. |
