Sign and Expression (the Concept of the Musical Sign and Its Function)

The concept of sign (M. K. Cohen, P. Ricoeur, C. G. Jung, S. Langer, L. Wittgenstein; Boethius, St Augustine). The signs of the notes as a spatial form of music. Syntax, morphology and phonetics in language, including musical language. Interpretation as knowing the meaning from the sign (J. Grondin). The sign has meaning only to the extent that it can be understood (V. Daujotytė). The written signs as the potentiality, and the language and the expression as the actualisation. A text is a system of signs: the sign is something which exists not as an end in itself but as a reference to something other than itself. The result of perception of the intonational links in the structure of the text is expressive intonational activity.
