When words end, music begins to speak - and the brain decides what it all means. On stage, psycholinguist Tatyana Chernigovskaya, neurophysiologist Alexander Kaplan, and musicologist Yaroslav Timofeev come together: there will be debates, examples, and live musical performances that set the tone for the conversation. There are topics that are convenient to discuss in an auditorium, and there are those that are better heard with the ears. On this evening, the conversation about words and music is structured like a good program: question - example - conclusion, and again a question. On stage are three speakers from different worlds. Psycholinguist Tatyana Chernigovskaya talks about language as a living system and what has been happening to it in recent decades. Neurophysiologist Alexander Kaplan analyzes the brain's work when we listen to speech and when we catch a melody, and where these processes converge. Musicologist and pianist Yaroslav Timofeev helps translate scientific ideas into the language of music and hearing. Where to go with a child in Moscow, look for on our website.
