<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class="">The conference will bring together researchers from linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, music theory, dance theory, anthropology, and neurobiology with the aim of integrating recent findings and insights
from diverse perspectives concerning the significance of expression in music, dance, and language, the importance of systematic structure in these domains, and the interrelations between expressive, musical, and communicative capacities and their relevance
for understanding the emergence of language (in ontogeny and phylogeny). <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></div>
