在广泛的动物分类群中，声音的韵律调制可以表达情感信息，并用于协调多个个体之间的声音交互。在动物沟通系统的比较方法，我假设的能力，情感和interpersonal韵律（EIP）铺平了道路的语言韵律的演变，也许还有音乐，继续发挥至关重要的作用，在收购的语言。为了支持这一假设，我回顾了三个研究领域：（i）EIP在非人灵长类动物、哺乳动物、鸣禽、无尾类动物和昆虫中的适应价值的实证研究;（ii）EIP在人类婴儿语言学习和社会发展中的有益作用;（3）语言韵律与音乐能力之间的认知关系，它通常被认为是语言进化的先驱。
Across a wide range of animal taxa, prosodic modulation of the voice can express emotional information and is used to coordinate vocal interactions between multiple individuals. Within a comparative approach to animal communication systems, I hypothesize that the ability for emotional and interactional prosody (EIP) paved the way for the evolution of linguistic prosody and perhaps also of music, continuing to play a vital role in the acquisition of language. In support of this hypothesis, I review three research fields: (i) empirical studies on the adaptive value of EIP in non-human primates, mammals, songbirds, anurans, and insects; (ii) the beneficial effects of EIP in scaffolding language learning and social development in human infants; (iii) the cognitive relationship between linguistic prosody and the ability for music, which has often been identified as the evolutionary precursor of language.
