Parole et musique: Speech and Music (Stanislas Dehaene & Christine Petit)
LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE
This collection examines how speech and music shape human communication and social life.
Its contributors ask how these capacities evolved and how the brain processes them.
Acoustics, linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience provide different approaches to the shared questions.
The chapters compare musical and linguistic sounds, perception, and forms of expression.
The volume grew from a 2008 conference at the Collège de France.
