Summary: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.
