Following the tradition of previous conferences, this book brings together selected revised papers representing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language, music and gesture. The collection presents researches devoted to the study of music, language and gesture as three basic human semiotic systems. The volume includes articles distributed across six sections, which examine the cognitive mechanisms of music and language acquisition and their processing at different levels, rhythmic and prosodic interrelations between music and language, the role of gesture in the perception of music and in communication in general, as well as issues of representation of emotions in music. A unique feature of the presented collection is that the papers, combined into one volume, allow researchers and professional readers to get an idea of the diverse spectrum of interdisciplinary cognitive studies of the main semiotic systems in Russia and beyond. The book would be of great interest to a wide range of scholars and postgraduate students in a specific research area of basic human cognitive processes.

Brings together scholars from several disciplines, discussing various systems of verbal and non-verbal communication Presents new approaches to the music and gesture on stage, based on contemporary practice Discusses cognitive and neurophysiological basis for human abilities as a crossroad of Science, Humanities, and Arts
