Both domains are unique to humans and are crucially linked to the expression of thought and emotion.\u003cbr\u003e Nonetheless, there are significant differences in their structure, content and performance. How do we account for these opposing facts?\u003cbr\u003e An attempt has been made here to set these facts in a proper theoretical perspective. Drawing on material from contemporary linguistic theory, and related areas of cognitive science and philosophy of mind, the author focuses on a possibly unifying concept-the concept of \u003ci\u003e discrete infinity- \u003c\/i\u003eand grounds this concept in 'Cartesian' theory of mind. He argues that some recent advances in linguistics, especially the concept of a computational system, could be viewed as a crucial step towards a unifying theory of language, music and related domains of discrete infinity. \u003cbr\u003e The differences between the domains could then be relegated systematically to factors that lie outside (yet interact with) the core computational system. It follows that, to extent, the hypothesis of the modularity of language (or of music) is basically false. \u003cbr\u003e The book will be of interest to philosophers, linguists, congnative scientists, musicologists and music-theorists, sociologists of knowledge and general readers interested in these classical issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e NIRMALANGSHU MUKHERJI teaches Philosophy at Delhi University.
