Abstract
According to conventional points of view one of the most important ontological characteristics of music as an art form is the non-verbal way of communication which is inherent in it. On the other hand, the structures of this strictly conditional musical language often have something in common with models of verbal language. We can see here the formal (syntactical) analogies without lexical contents. We propose to present the results of observations on the influence of verbal models in musical structures.
