This lecture explores how music communicates emotions through various features such as harmony, rhythm, and timbre. It delves into the differences between semantical and pragmatical expression in music compared to language, and how music can induce and express emotions. The presentation covers the impact of musical features on inducing emotions, the role of syntactic structures in predicting listeners' responses, and the relationship between performers' expressions and music-syntactical processing. Additionally, it discusses the influence of music on social bonding, evaluative conditioning, and the mere exposure effect. The lecture also touches on psychoacoustic accounts of emotions in music and the significance of cadences in conveying emotions.
