Only much later in a child’s development does he make use of this ‘musical prosody’, for instance in delineating and subsequently recognizing word boundaries. In this essay Henkjan Honing makes a case for ‘illiterate listening’, the human ability to discern, interpret and appreciate musical nuances already from day one, long before a single word has been uttered, let alone conceived. It is the preverbal and preliterate stage that is dominated by musical listening.MusicologyMusicPhysiological aspectsMusicology.MusicPhysiological aspects.781.11Honing Henkjan787216AuAdUSAAuAdUSAUkMaJRUBOOK9910140427703321The illiterate listener1930239UNINA
