Varga, Tamás (2020) A study of conceptual blendings in Dream Theater songs. MPhil thesis, University of Sheffield.
Abstract
This research project examines how musical and lyrical elements are interpreted in a musical setting. I argue that songs with lyrics are conceptual blends that involve the interplay between language and music. This interplay between the two different yet similar modes of communication plays a crucial role in influencing listeners’ interpretations of songs.
