Supra-individual mechanisms of language and music: three steps to the formulation of a hypothesis
The report shows various analytical tools for the study of supra-individual mechanisms of language and music from the point of view of philosophy, linguistics and neurophysiology. A hypothesis about the connection between speech and music is formulated that goes beyond the framework of the natural science paradigm. It is based on the idea that perception is culturally conditioned, regulated by consciousness and the architectonics of hearing, which has an ontogenetic character. Therefore, the structural and syntactic correspondences of speech and music as two domains are not so important. Chomsky and followers), how many contrasting mechanisms of meaning formation ("immediately"-meaning and "building up" of meaning, A.V. Smirnov), associated with the processing of sound information. The proposed hypothesis is not based on the presumption of absolute universality of auditory perception, therefore it needs experimental confirmation with the participation of speakers of different cultures. The question will be raised whether expanding the boundaries of the problem of supra—individual mechanisms of language and music through the "ethnologization of cognitive science" (Borodai 2020) can help in recognizing the essential differences in the work of consciousness at the level of the neurophysiological justification of this problem?
