Lawrence M. Zbikowski is the Addie Clark Harding Professor of Music and the Humanities at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1993. His research focuses on the way musical understanding is shaped by humans’ cognitive capacities, articulated through studies of musical grammar, language-music relations, and connections between music and movement. This research has been brought together in Conceptualizing Music: Cognitive Structure, Theory, and Analysis (2002), which explores the cognitive bases of musical thought, and Foundations of Musical Grammar (2017), which describes how humans’ unique ability to correlate sounds with dynamic processes provides the basis for the construction of meaningful musical utterances. His current project is a book-length study of how humans’ cognitive capacities have enabled them to use patterned nonlinguistic sound to shape the social relationships that are foundational to human culture.
