The representation of speech tone in music in those languages that have phonological tone has – to date – rarely been directly addressed in ethnomusicological and linguistic studies, but becomes increasingly studied in both disciplines in recent years. The origin of both modern disciplines, ethnomusicology and linguistics, in Western thought, i.e. in non-tonal languages, has effectively left this issue understudied between both disciplines until the most recent years.
The proposed workshop focussing on this hitherto marginalised question is highly transdisciplinary. Thus we intend to connect researchers from linguistics and ethnomusicology to explore this issue to an unprecedented depth in trying to bring together different research methods as well as results of how speech tone is represented in singing and/or music.
