This book shows how recent work in cognitive science, especially
that developed by cognitive linguists and cognitive psychologists,
can be used to explain how we understand music. The book focuses on
three cognitive processes--categorization, cross-domain mapping,
and the use of conceptual models--and explores the part these play
in theories of musical organization.
The first part of the book provides a detailed overview of the
relevant work in cognitive science, framed around specific musical
examples. The second part brings this perspective to bear on a
number of issues with which music scholarship has often been
occupied, including the emergence of musical syntax and its
relationship to musical semiosis, the problem of musical ontology,
the relationship between words and music in songs, and conceptions
of musical form and musical hierarchy.
The book will be of interest to music theorists, musicologists,
and ethnomusicologists, as well as those with a professional or
avocational interest in the application of work in cognitive
science to humanistic principles.
