Summary/Abstract: The present paper analyses the influence exerted by the English language on electronics and informatics terminology put at the service of present-day music. This influence is explained by the fact that the best known and extensively used operational systems have been produced and developed in the United States: to be more precise, the Windows and MIDI systems. At a linguistic level, the consequence was a certain terminological standardization of the musical language which is based on informatics structures.
