The Unanswered Question - Six Talks at Harvard by Leonard Bernstein

Season 1 Episode 2: Musical Syntax

Syntax refers to the study of the structural organization of a sentence, or as Bernstein summarizes, "the actual structures that arise from that phonological stuff" (p. 9). In addition to syntax, lecture 2 relies on Chomsky's theory of universal grammar, which states that innate mental processes take place to transform sounds and words into meaningful structures.
