Muzyka a słuch fonematyczny

Abstract

This article attempts to discuss selected issues related to the determinants of com-mon features of music and phonemic hearing in terms of ties between mechanisms of their perception. Development of phonemic hearing corresponds with the developmental stages of speech perception. Some reflections presented within the article focus on the analogy that occurs between music and language considered forms of message using a phoneme or sound. Many sequences of these elements are bonded with strict rules, which have their semantics and acoustic characteristics (height, dynamics, timbre, duration). The similarities occur in the perception that precedes execution and uses the same auditory – voice channel. Both music and language forms are conditioned by participation in a particular culture.
