Expression, Language, and Music Conference (ELM 3)
Expression, Language, and Music (ELM) is a biennial interdisciplinary conference bringing together researchers across linguistics, music, neuroscience, cognitive science, anthropology, and philosophy. It explores emotional expression and structure in music and language, their shared communicative capacities, and their relevance to understanding the development and emergence of language.
Expression, Language, and Music (ELM)* is a biennial conference that brings together researchers from linguistics, music theory, anthropology, neurobiology, cognitive science, philosophy, and more, with the aim of integrating recent findings and insights from diverse perspectives concerning, e.g. the significance of emotional expression for both music and language, the importance of systematic structure in both music and language, and the interrelations between expressive, musical, and communicative capacities and their relevance for understanding the emergence of language (in ontogeny and phylogeny). Future conferences may focus more narrowly on a subset of these topics.
