Özet:

Language and music are two peculiar humanly faculties. That the speech organ ofhuman possesses a double-function as to produce both speech and musical soundsbrings into mind that language and music are of the same origin. The main entityof both domains is sound. While music system sets discrete sounds in number andfrequency, speech sounds are not frequency-based, one contrasting with the otheraccording to the way of articulation in the speech organ. In the early childhood,similarities between language and music are at the highest level. As the referenceof music is not clear, the meaning it conveys is controversial. Language and musicare two different systems in the brain, however they are localized and processedalmost in the same brain areas. Both involve combinations of smaller units intolarger ones so their structure is hierarchical. Both language texts and music piecesconstitute a gestalt. Musical pieces have encoding and retrieval advantages overlanguage texts
