Semantic Extensions of The Names of Sounds Produced by The Living Creature in An Account of Musical Auditory Sensations

This paper concerns the linguistic means used in order to describe auditory sensations or, more specifically, linguistic expressions that musicians apply to describe the sounds of different instruments of the drum set. The analysis concerns one of the types of such expressions – names of sounds produced by the living creature, that is, linguistic items that refer to articulate and inarticulate sounds produced by the human being and sounds that are typically associated with animals. From the Cognitive Grammar perspective, these names are analyzed as semantic extensions, which enables us to indicate schematic structures emerging from them – patterns of semantic extension
