right. the area that would interest me is the relationship of music and language cadence.
beasts apparently do not process music/keep beats. except for cockatoos & the such.
i.e. language cadence as the origin of music.
"but what about rhythm" you say. rhythm is not cadence.
no need to get mystical. syl-la-bles have the beat.
is that a question
is that a question
that is a question?
that is a question
aphasia = amusia? (not necessarily-- not if aphasia involves syntax but the cadence / beat areas are intact).
good hypothesis. go test it. i'm retired now.
