Once I found on the internet this sentence: “Music is not a language because it has no grammar”… and I could be done with the topic but… Let’s undermine understanding “language” for a moment.
I don’t understand what a language is. And no one is sure of it. There are many thesis what are the main criterias of language. Even if I don’t understand the boundaries of the definition, I know that for something to meet the definition, the criteria of this definition must be met to at least a minimal degree.
I see a problem – the most important criterion of language is communication! It is so important that even body language is called that, even though as an unstructured, ungrammatical and widely interpreted form of communication, and is not a form of language… I can use miming or my hands to communicate many situations, actions and emotions. I know scientists won’t call it language, but being the everyday language of ordinary simple people, they might call it that.
Next problem is that music has structures and rules which are not understood by people. Maybe superior souls have hidden grammar inside them?
