ResumoThis paper discusses the problem of musical meaning from the perspective of some twentieth-century approaches to linguistic semantics. The text briefly covers the issue as it was viewed in the first half of the previous century, and then reviews some studies of musical meaning within the structural, generative, and cognitive frameworks. The author's opinion is that conceptual metaphor theory, in its search for the conceptualization of music, provides the most solid ground for the foundation of a true 'musico-semantics'.
