Disciplinary background A. Pragmatics. Music might have preceded language as means of communication (Fitch, 2009;Brown, 2000) and its meaning therefore seems to unfold in a dialog. Just like prosody conveys speaker's intentions (Hellbernd & Sammler, 2016), the musical accompaniment gives away author's intentions. By decoding its relevant features (Wilson & Sperber, 2008) the perceiver interprets the intended message. Disciplinary background B.Cognitive Linguistics. Similar conceptual networks for language and music have been suggested (Schön et al., 2010), and the capacity of the latter to convey concepts has been empirically proven (Painter & Koelsch, 2011). Since the two systems perform remarkably similar interpretive feats (Patel, 2008), linguistics provides useful tools to discover the nature of musical meaning.
