Abstract | Semiotics is a powerful and influential concept in the analysis of music (both sound and notation), lyrics and visual images alike, making it particularly useful for popular music. Because of its concern with meaning as well as means, it is also an important tool for approaches such as those informed by feminist and queer theory. It links general cultural concepts and methodologies to the unique specificity of music. This chapter gives an overview of the field, followed by original illustrations of different applications of semiotic analysis to popular music. |
