Both music and language are found in all known human societies, yet no studies have compared similarities differences between song, speech, instrumental on a global scale. In this Registered Report, we analyzed two datasets: (i) 300 annotated audio recordings representing matched sets of traditional songs, recited lyrics, conversational melodies from our 75 coauthors speaking 55 languages; (ii) 418 previously published adult-directed song speech 209 individuals 16 languages. Of six...
How cross-culturally consistent and general are relationships between song speech? Ozaki et al. (2024) analysed singing speaking from their 75 coauthors 55 languages, concluding that songs “slower higher use more stable pitches than speech”. However, the degree to which findings would generalise other speakers of languages remains unclear. We will test replicability al.’s using matched conversational speech audio recordings 15-30 participants per language in 26 sites around world (collected...

The evolution of music, speech, and sociality have been debated since before Darwin. social bonding hypothesis proposes that these phenomena may be interlinked: musicality facilitated the beyond possibilities spoken language. Although dozens experimental studies argued synchronised rhythms can promote bonding, methodological issues including publication bias, sample experimenter effects, appropriateness controls make it unclear whether synchronous singing reliably generally enhances relative...
