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 thestructural        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 andmethodologies 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.
