When analysing the regularities and structure of [[music]] as well as the processing of music in the [[brain]], certain findings lead to the question, if music is based on a [[syntax]] which could be compared with [[linguistic syntax]]. To get closer to this question it is necessary to have a look at the basic aspects of syntax in [[language]], as language unquestionably presents a complex syntactical system. If music has a matchable syntax, noteworthy equivalents to basic aspects of linguistic syntax have to be found in musical structure. Claiming that syntax is a fundamental element of music, it is interesting to know, if there are also similarities in processing linguistic and '''musical syntax''' in the brain. By implication the processing of music in comparison to language could also give information about the structure of music.
