Dissertation Abstract:

The book explores (1) the motivation of musical motion expressions in terms of
conceptual metaphors (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 1999) in two corpus studies, and
(2) their perceived degree of metaphoricity among musicians and non-musicians
in a rating study. The results show that while fundamental embodied conceptual
metaphors like time is motion certainly play a part in explaining why we speak
of music as motion, it is the specific communicative setting of music
criticism that determines the particular use of metaphors for the description
of musical aspects. Furthermore, the perceived metaphoricity of musical motion
metaphors varies with participants’ musical background: musicians perceive
musical motion expressions as more literal compared to non-musicians,
highlighting individual differences in the perception of metaphoricity.
