Abstract [Introduction] In this introduction to the fourth session of the MLSB symposium I will discuss some basic questions that concern psychologists interested in perception ad cognition, and I will examine how these questions apply to speech on the one hand and to music on the other. In doing so, I hope to reveal commonalities and differences between these two domains of human expression and communication. Since it is impossible to provide an adequate overview of such a broad area in such a short time, I will touch only selected topics, and then only very superficially, in the expectation that the distinguished speakers following me will fill some of the voids I have left. For the purpose of stimulating discussion, I will point out several relatively neglected research questions.
