Joseph Swain revisits the age-old analogy between music and language in light of the latest advances in modern linguistics and cognitive psychology. He examines the aptness of the analogy and the degree to which it can be stretched, not only demonstrating the essential similarities between music and language but also exposing where the analogy breaks down. Includes music example.
