The first major complication and difference between written music and written human language appears when one considers the formation of words. In all human languages, whether their written form is alphabetic, syllabic, ideographic, or any mixture of the above, the written form is linear . Perhaps, in a sequence, and therefore 1-dimensional is a more descriptive terminology. The point that levels of structural units exist in human languages has been made, so I won't belabor it by going on about the other punctuation marks. The grammatical structures that we take for granted in Indo-European languages are either completely absent in other languages or so vastly complicated as not to be recognizable.
Nouns can contain verbs and verbs can contain nouns.
One should look, rather, for the units of meaning, in the language itself. Let's try anyhow, just how well we can do, and perhaps more informatively where we fail. Human Languages have both syntax and semantics. In the 'or' part of the previous question, syntax often creeps into the answer. Upon being accosted by a member of the ladies auxilliary, with this question, Stravinsky is reported to have thought for a minute and said, Its meaning is its dramatic unfolding of its own architectural structure and internal internal relationships, or something very similar.
