Following his foundational work in ophthalmics during the 1850s, he became Professor of Physiology at Heidelberg and, in 1863, published On the Sensations of Tone. Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–94) was a leading scientist who made important contributions to physiology, psychology, physics, philosophy and early neuroscience. These results agree with the hypothesis that modern human vocal anatomy has evolved because of speech, and that male larynx position might have been lowered further for reasons of size exaggeration. The optimal configuration corresponds closely to human female anatomy, while in the human male the larynx is slightly lower than optimal. A short recapitulation of acoustic theory of speech production is presented to explain the reason for why this configuration is optimal. This has been a conjecture for a long time by those researchers of the evolution of speech who propose that the human vocal tract has evolved for speech. It is found that there is an optimal larynx height at which the largest range of signals can be produced and that at this height, the vertical and horizontal parts are approximately equally long. It is a simplified model of primate vocal anatomy that nevertheless preserves the essential articulatory constraints due to limitations of muscular control. Here a model is proposed to systematically investigate the relation between larynx height and articulatory abilities. This has led to conflicting conclusions about the relation between the evolution of anatomy and the evolution of speech. Previous work has investigated models that were built to resemble the anatomy of existing species or fossil ancestors. This paper investigates the effect of larynx position on the articulatory abilities of a humanlike vocal tract. In the final section we advance a discussion that shows how this approach has shed light on the different ways meaning takes shape in music and language. The second class comprises just one element, timbre, which is responsible for building up the enunciation behind any melodic utterance. The first one comprises the distinctive categories, namely pitch, duration and intensity, which are responsible for building up melodic utterances. We conclude the essay by proposing that melodic features should be split into two overarching classes. The second part of the article discusses the physics behind timbre, showing why it is not a distinctive category rather it plays the role of a connotator (Hjelmslev). This comparison led us to understand some basic differences between music and language: melodic primitives present three characteristics that are absent from phonological primitives: grading, context-sensitivity and tensiveness. In the first part of the article, we compare the role played by primitives in music and in language, as the phonological system of natural languages is also organized as a structure of minimal features. We propose an analysis of those primitives from two different points of view. Any melodic sound must be determined by pitch, duration, intensity and timbre, which are the minimal categories found in music.
