Re: Pseudo OT - Which comes first? Language or Music?

[Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>]

Thanks. Interesting! Chomsky never made that connection with music as
far as I know. Another interesting detail, that wasn't mentioned in
that article, is the brain processing unit that opens the possibility
to listen to sound through the ears and instantly chime in ("comment")
with your speech organs. Only humans and birds have that brain part.
>From this one may guess that maybe also the dinosaurs had this
simultaneous "chiming-in" capability? Would they have developed
language with abstract concepts if not wiped out of the loop?
