| Résumé: | Music is often treated as a form of language that refers to the world, to reality and to existence. But if music speaks to us, what does it say, and how does it say it? This paper aims to clarify the meaning of the concepts of meaning and language when applied to music. It argues that music is indeed a form of language, but one that neither « speaks » nor « says » anything: its functioning is semiotic, yet incomparable to that of ordinary language. This thesis takes a stand against an « ineffabilist » theory, according to which music has a meaning, but one that is un-speakable or inexpressible in words. The aim is to account for the cognitive value of musical works, and their ability to reveal unexplored aspects of the world, transforming the way we view, describe and interpret it. |
