The Language of Music

Church music, hi-fi audio of the '78s, a lullaby that my grandmother calms the mind, my brothers sang songs on a platter, music of my life was always the background of my life; always my I am suggesting ideas and thinking. The first album I saved was enough to buy Petula Clark's "Downtown", and I showed proudly the preference of their affectionate R & B who is not impressive to my brothers. I did not realize that I mistakenly dropped the roots of my heart, continued listening to the songs played by Cousin Brucie at the quiet AM 77 WABC, continued to appreciate.

"Musilanguage" is a term made by Steven Brown to explain his assumption about human characteristics of an ancestor evolved into language and music ability. It is a model of the evolution of music and language, and is also a term representing the stage of evolution. Brown believes that both music and human language are derived from the "music language" stage of evolution. The structural features shared by music and language are not only the result of parallelism, but also from other systems It is also a function of. This model insists that "music emphasizes that sound is emotional and language emphasizes sound as a reference meaning." The music language model is a structural model of music evolution. This contrasts with the functional model of music evolution, in which the functional model of music evolution determines the intrinsic physical nature of music through its adaptive role.

Since music and language share common characteristics, it is natural that many brain regions dealing with languages ​​handle music. But this does not mean that music is language. Some of the misunderstandings arise from the tendency we think that certain areas of the brain have specific functions. Complex behaviors such as language, music, driving a car, etc. are donated from various brain regions. In a sense, music is definitely not a universal language, you can use it to express any thoughts about someone on the planet. But music can evoke a deep primitive emotion in the center sharing human experience. It not only crosses culture but also enters deeply into our evolutionary past. In this sense, music is certainly a universal language in the world.
