Abstract:

Music is a widely enjoyed human experience. It is, therefore, natural that we
have wanted to describe, document, analyse and, somehow, grasp it in language.
This book surveys a representative selection of musical concepts in Chinese
language, i.e. words that describe, or refer to, aspects of Chinese music.
Important as these musical concepts are in the language, they have been in
wide circulation since ancient times without being subjected to any serious
semantic analysis. The current study is the first known attempt at analysing
these Chinese musical concepts linguistically, adopting the Natural Semantic
Metalanguage (NSM) approach to formulate semantically and cognitively rigorous
explications. Readers will be able to better understand not only these musical
concepts but also significant aspects of the Chinese culture which many of
these musical concepts represent. This volume contributes to the fields of
cognitive linguistics, semantics, music, musicology and Chinese studies,
offering readers a fresh account of Chinese ways of thinking, not least
Chinese ways of viewing or appreciating music. Ultimately, this study
represents trailblazing research on the relationship between language, culture
and cognition.
