Listen to the beat - the role of rhythm in language and the brain
Sandrien van Ommen
(Dr.; Research and Teaching Fellow at Fundamental Neurosciences, University of Geneva and the NCCR Evolving Language)
Speech has rhythmic properties that widely differ across languages. When we listen to unfamiliar languages, we may perceive them to be more musical, or rather more rap-like than our own. Even if we are unaware of it, the rhythm and melody of language, what we call its prosody, reflects its linguistic structure. As listeners, we use this information to process speech efficiently, but how do we do this? I will discuss rhythmic differences between languages, pseudo-rhythmicity, how our native language warps our perception and how our brain synchronizes with speech.
