Abstract
<jats:p>THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC, THE MUSIC OF LANGUAGE – UNEXPECTED CONNECTIONSThe article explores the relationship between music and language within the context of the dynamic development of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, highlighting their shared foundations as phonological systems based on the processing of complex temporal sequences. Structural analogies between music and language are presented, focusing on the fact that both systems share common neural networks in the brain. It is demonstrated that the processing of musical and linguistic syntax engages the same neuronal resources, leading to the mutual enhancement of cognitive functions. Professional engagement with music induces changes in brain architecture, optimizing areas responsible for speech perception, attention, and working memory. The article argues that music and language are not distinct modules but interdependent systems; furthermore, music is presented not merely as an aesthetic phenomenon, but as a powerful tool that shapes the efficiency of the human mind.</jats:p>
