HOW LANGUAGE SPEAKS TO MUSIC KARTONIERT (TB)

Prosody as a system of suprasegmental linguistic information such as rhythm and intonation is a
prime candidate for looking at the relation between language and music in a principled way.
This claim is based on several aspects: First  prosody is concerned with acoustic correlates of
language and music that are directly comparable with each other by their physical properties
such as duration and pitch. Second  prosodic accounts suggest a hierarchical organization of
prosodic units that not only resembles a syntactic hierarchy  but is viewed as (part of) an
interface to syntax. Third  prosody provides a very promising ground for evolutionary accounts
of language and music. Fourth  bilateral transfer effects between language and music are best
illustrated on the level of prosody. Highlighting the first two aspects  this book shows that
it is a fruitful endeavor to use prosody for a principled comparison of language and music. In
its broader sense  prosody as sound structure of communicative systems may be considered a
»meta«-language that formalizes the way of how music speaks to language and vice versa. Prosody
is firmly established within linguistic theory  but is also applied in the musical domain.
Therefore  prosody is not just a field of inquiry that shares elements or features between
music and language  but can additionally provide a common conceptual ground.
