Linguistische Arbeiten583- How Language Speaks to Music Prosody from a Cross-domain Perspective

The book series Linguistische Arbeiten (LA) publishes high-quality work in linguistics that addresses current issues in synchrony and diachrony, theoretically or empirically oriented.

The present volume focusses on prosodic accounts of language and music and explores their overlaps and differences. It brings together interdisciplinary researchers with contributions on general mechanisms and representations underlying the prosody of language and music, the key units of prosody, the cognitive and neural networks supporting linguistic and musical prosody, clinical aspects of linguistic and musical prosody, and on transfer/interactions between the two domains, such as text-setting. The book also incorporates a wide range of methodologies, reaching from generative accounts of prosody to brain imaging techniques establishing prosodic networks.
