THE MODERN CONCEPT OF GRAMMAR. SYNTACTIC AND SEMANTIC ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE SYNTACTIC AND SEMANTIC ASPECTS OF LANGUAGE)

Summary/Abstract: The paper starts from the idea that thought and speech work together as a unit and that language itself is not a simple means of communication, but plays an active and generative role. Beyond the task of the grammar of a language to provide rules for the formation of meaningful expressions, there is the complex activity of the mind, which includes the creative function of the language. “Grammaticality”, therefore, is not reduced to the criterion of rule, but is also structural to the language and to the unity between language and thought. The chapters of the paper deal with aspects related to the structure of the natural, formal and musical language from a syntactic and semantic perspective. It is in this context that the discussion about musical language unfolds, a discussion that should consider the relationships with thinking, just as the development of the musical discourse should revolve around the theory of the work of art. Thus, the essence of music resides in becoming, it is not a chain of moments or of forms of existence. In the becoming of the enduring music lies only the unique possibility of its manifestation now, here, thus and not otherwise. The spirit is present at any point in the evolution of music, pursuing the line of becoming, which is simultaneity.
