Music and the Origins of Language: Theories from the French Enlightenment Paperback - 2006 - 1st Edition
by Downing A. Thomas
First line
With a few exceptions, including the recent formation of a musical semiotics, official discourse on music in the twentieth century has largely resisted discussion of music as it might be related to language or meaning.
From the rear cover
This new series explores the conceptual frameworks that shape or have shaped the ways in which we understand music and its history, and seeks to elaborate structures of explanation, interpretation, commentary, and criticism which make music intelligible and which provide a basis for argument about judgments of value.

Description:
Paperback / softback. New. This study analyses reflections on music and music theory as they appear within the logical and narrative structure of texts by, for example, Rousseau, Diderot, Rameau and Condillac, and considers the ways in which music facilitates links between language and meaning, between conceptions of an original society and an ideal social order.
