Abstract

This paper reveals the findings of the linguistic-conceptual analysis of artistic discourse applied to texts produced by candidates to the program of the BA in Music Interpretation at Universidad Provincial de Córdoba in the diagnostic test of Foreign Language for Specific Purposes administered to 2016, 2017 and 2018 cohorts. Two linguistic approaches have been brought together: systemic-functional linguistics and the theory of conceptual metaphor belonging to cognitive linguistics, with an aim at extracting recurring patterns of metaphorical conceptualization in the definition or characterization of music. MUSIC IS LIFE emerges as the most recurrent and significant conceptual metaphor of all. Other conceptual metaphors found are MUSIC IS LANGUAGE, SHELTER, CONTAINER, AGENT, and ENTITY. The methodology applied has allowed for work with textual evidence engaging a semiotic and social dimension, to detect not only metaphors as manifested in discourse, but also those conceptual structures that are not usually perceived as metaphors, but which constitute a basic conceptual fabric that is both subjective and culturally-shared by informants.
