Huh. I don't think I've ever heard those terms. To me what you're describing sounds like a mix of psychoacoustics, phonology, and semantics.
For psychoacoustics a great start would be a relatively recent text like Music in the Human Experience (Hodges and Sebald). For your purposes, chapters 8 and 9 would be relevant ("Music Cognition" and "Music and the Brain", respectively).
I realize that you're not looking exclusively for music-related literature on this topic, which is why I suggested you also look into some phonological literature. This I can't point you toward, as the extent of my knowledge on the subject goes little further than a linguistics crash course in university.
If you're looking for historical philosophical writings on the topic, I've got nothing. I'm far from an expert on this topic. But I hope this helps!
