Abstract
Music and language processing have been repeatedly compared but
similarities and differences between domains are challenging to quantify. This
chapter takes a step back and focuses specifically on the role of fine-grained
changes in pitch, which play a role in both domains but are not widely studied.
In addition to describing the units, we provide empirical evidence for the specific
role of small units in music: scoops, which are small dynamic pitch change at
the start or end of sung notes within a melody. We report results from a new experiment
that builds on a recent study that addressed two distinct processes for
the evaluation of pitch accuracy (Larrouy-Maestri & Pfordresher, 2018). The present
study compared accuracy ratings to a more ecologically valid listening task:
preference judgments. By replicating and extending previous findings, we describe
the processing of small units in music perception and propose research
directions to further investigate such units in speech perception, and ultimately
gain the necessary insight to make meaningful cross-domain comparisons.
