Abstract

This paper provides an analytical tool for the study of intertextuality in music. A brief part explains the motives both for and against focusing on music and language parallelisms. It follows the proposal for a systematic linguistics for musicology centered on linguistic layers, which is then applied to the Hjelmslevian semiotics. This results in a stratified musical sign, where several planes of expression affect the plane of content. This approach provides a novel and integrative framework that is useful for analyzing music intertextuality.
