Muzyka w onomastycznym pryzmacie

Abstract

Language, i. e. the language of a given ethnic group, natural language, musical onomastics, muslcological terminology etc., plays an important part in the process of muslcological cognition. First of all it is a subject of study because of its relevance to music, then it is a kind of medium for thinking and reasoning about music, and finally it is a medium of discourse between scholars. In spite of the obviousness of this thesis, the linguistic links fail to create a due methodological interest in the empirical (beginning with the socalled basic propositions), as well as in the non-empirical in vestigation of musicology. Two examples of the folk onomastics with reference to the song and music repertories, which appear in local practices, will serve to display the importance of the first kind of research because they reproduce the characteristic thought structure of the repertories.
