THE ORIGIN OF LANGUAGES, MELODY AND MUSICAL IMITATION

	The Origin Of Languages, Melody And Musical Imitation by Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Essay on the Origin of Languages is a collection of a short essay, On Theatrical Imitation, which summarises and paraphrases Plato’s discussions of imitation in the Republic. Rousseau’s approach to language is romantic in many respects, but it cannot be aligned with any simplistic opposition in intellectual history. He stresses the expressive power of language in his version of the Genie Des Langues, and in his account of the connection between language and the passions and the importance of metaphor. But, he does not reject the thesis of the arbitrariness of the linguistic sign or the central denotatory function of language.
