A survey is presented of diff studies found in 2 approaches to the relations between musicology & linguistics: comparative semiotic studies of language & music, & close collaboration between the 2 sci's. The success of these approaches, however, is dependent upon the 2 sci's having attained the same level of development. Since linguistics is presently much more advanced, the problem considered here is: 'How far can recent developments in linguistics contribute towards the elaboration of a sci'fic theory of music?' It is suggested that modern linguistics can assist in the development of musicology at a few points: in the area of traditional structuralism; with regard to the abstract notion of levels of representation as elaborated by N. Chomsky on the basis of criteria of simplicity & generality; &, most importantly, with regard to the contributions that can be made by the generative, transformational grammar evolved by N. Chomsky &his collaborators. M. Duke.
