Music and language are highly intertwined auditory phenomena that largely overlap on behavioral and neural levels. While the link between the two has been widely explored on a general level, comparably few studies have addressed the relationship between musical skills and language aptitude, defined as an individual's (partly innate) capacity for learning foreign languages. Behaviorally, past research has provided evidence that individuals’ musicality levels (expressed by singing, instrument playing, and/or perceptive musical abilities) are significantly associated with their foreign language learning, particularly the acquisition of phonetic and phonological skills (e.g., pronunciation, speech imitation). On the neural level, both skills recruit a wide array of overlapping brain areas, which are also involved in cognition and memory.The neurobiology of language aptitude is an area ripe for investigation, since there has been only limited research establishing neurofunctional and neuroanatomical markers characteristic of speech imitation and overall language aptitude (e.g., in the left/right auditory cortex and left inferior parietal areas of the brain). Thus, as noted above, in this short review for ARAL, the aim is to describe the most recent neuroscientific findings on the neurobiology of language aptitude, to discuss the complex interplay between language aptitude and musicality from neural and behavioral perspectives, and to briefly outline what the promise of future research in this area holds.

大脑、音乐性和语言能力:复杂的相互作用

音乐和语言是高度交织的听觉现象,在行为和神经层面上很大程度上重叠。虽然两者之间的联系在一般层面上已被广泛探索,但很少有研究涉及音乐技能和语言能力之间的关系,语言能力被定义为个人(部分先天)学习外语的能力。在行为方面,过去的研究提供了证据表明个人的音乐水平(通过歌唱、乐器演奏和/或感知音乐能力表示)与他们的外语学习显着相关,特别是语音和语音技能的获得(例如,发音、演讲模仿)。在神经层面上,这两种技能都会招募大量重叠的大脑区域,这些区域也涉及认知和记忆。语言能力的神经生物学是一个成熟的研究领域,因为只有有限的研究确定了语音模仿和整体语言能力的神经功能和神经解剖学标记(例如,在大脑的左/右听觉皮层和左下顶叶区域) )。因此,如上所述,在 ARAL 的简短回顾中,目的是描述关于语言能力的神经生物学的最新神经科学发现,从神经和行为的角度讨论语言能力和音乐性之间的复杂相互作用,并简要概述该领域未来研究的前景如何。因为只有有限的研究确定了语音模仿和整体语言能力的神经功能和神经解剖学标记(例如,在大脑的左/右听觉皮层和左下顶叶区域)。因此,如上所述,在 ARAL 的简短回顾中,目的是描述关于语言能力的神经生物学的最新神经科学发现,从神经和行为的角度讨论语言能力和音乐性之间的复杂相互作用,并简要概述该领域未来研究的前景如何。因为只有有限的研究确定了语音模仿和整体语言能力的神经功能和神经解剖学标记(例如,在大脑的左/右听觉皮层和左下顶叶区域)。因此,如上所述,在 ARAL 的简短回顾中,目的是描述关于语言能力的神经生物学的最新神经科学发现,从神经和行为的角度讨论语言能力和音乐性之间的复杂相互作用,并简要概述该领域未来研究的前景如何。
