Abstract:

The book explores (1) the motivation of motion expressions in Western
classical music criticism 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 Western classical music as
motion, it is the specific communicative setting of music criticism that
determines the particular use of motion metaphors.
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, showing that there are
individual differences in the perception of metaphoricity.
