Résumé : The cerebellum is intimately involved with aspects of control of speech and song production, as well as perception. This chapter will review some of the diverse set of findings demonstrating the nature of this involvement. In explaining these findings, a considerable number of hypotheses have been formulated with regard to the underlying function of the cerebellum. These processes include but are not restricted to sharpening sensory input, temporal coordination, as well as instantiation of internal models that simulate the input-output characteristics of a specific system (Bower and Parsons 2003; Parsons et al. 2009; Ackermann 2008; Kent et al. 2000; Callan et al. 2006, 2007). In reviewing the literature of the involvement of the cerebellum with respect to speech and song processing, it is the goal of this chapter to clarify general underlying cerebellar functions that are pertinent to these hypotheses.
