סיכום:Unlike the grasp of metaphor in natural language, there is in music a patent confusion of roles between the 'tenor' and 'vehicle' of a metaphor: the expressive content configures the metaphorical understanding of a musical moment as much as the experience of the musical moment shapes how we perceive expressive content. This observation prompts consideration of a model (different from Peacocke's) in which a spiralling reciprocity of invertible metaphorical operations gives rise to the specificity of the aesthetic experience. On this account - it is argued - metaphorical processes in music function much like those in other art forms. © British Society of Aesthetics 2009.
