Meeting Description:

Relations between language and music have been discussed for centuries. The
antique perspective suggested a close affinity of the two domains, with poets
considered singers, and poems equated with songs. Generative linguistic
approaches, on the other hand, assume a separate language module. Recent
research contributed substantially to the language-music debate, and we have
now some evidence for shared as well as separate processing areas in the human
brain. Surprisingly, despite the fact that both domains consider prosody as
organizational principle of at least rhythm and intonation, and despite a
possible joint origin, shared prosodic accounts of language and music are
rare. Can linguistic theory entirely ignore shared prosodic principles in the
two domains? Or can the new insights prove beneficial for advancing linguistic
theories on prosody? This workshop intends to bring together interdisciplinary
researchers in order to sparkle discussions how mutual exchange between
language and music can be fruitful. We invite contributions focusing on
general mechanisms and representations underlying the prosody of language and
music, addressing questions such as: What are the key units of prosody? What
do they share between language and music, what is specific to either domain?
What cognitive and neural networks support linguistic and musical prosody?
Moreover, we invite contributions that explore evolutionary and developmental
aspects of linguistic and musical prosody, addressing questions such as: Did
linguistic and musical prosody co-evolve? Is language and musical acquisition
supported by transfer/interactions between the two domains? Welcome are,
furthermore, contributions studying the immediate link between the two domains
in poetry or text-setting, particularly if they address the role of underlying
language-specific principles. The workshop also aims at incorporating a wide
range of methodologies, reaching from generative accounts of prosody to brain
imaging techniques establishing prosodic networks, in order to seek for a
best-possible approach to a timely and very interesting cross-domain research
topic.
