Author(s): Ana-Maria OltețeanuSubject(s): Music
Published by: Addleton Academic Publishers
Keywords: metaphor; musical; experience; zygonic; cognitive; sound
Summary/Abstract: According to Ockelford, an effective way of explaining zygonic theory is through analogy with the construction of meaning in verbal language. Budd explains that the judgement that a musical phrase sounds melancholy is purely descriptive. Robinson insists that some music has the power to affect our feelings without much, if any, cognitive mediation.
