Signs and Symbols: Animals and Language

1.1. Signs and Symbols: The animals of the earth. Esanahidun, the only man with a language to communicate. Languages always bring two types of elements: words (vocabulary) and rules (grammar). In language, words are signs, something that indicates something else. A sign adheres to what it indicates, and the well-established relationship between the sense of convenience is called da. Objects are also created, as well as things and events, which become signs for us. Furthermore, a sign indicates something beyond the immediate sense, something visible and hidden: these are symbols. The relationship between signs and what they indicate is conventional, while the relationship between symbols and what they symbolize is social, cultural, and symbolic. Symbols bring meaning to mind. Things, phenomena, and events, full of common sense or meaning, become messages.

The Symbolic Universe

1.2. Symbolic Universe: A curious relationship with a man in the world, from the date of birth: the luck of artistic expression and the symbolic universe of a certain language, or make up the filter sinboikoa, they believe. The symbolic universe is a mixture of different experiences and the art of finding meaning. Language, therefore, is an essential means, the object of our reality, and we use it to understand. It helps us understand these objects and allows other people to listen to or give meaning to our experiences.

The Fantastical Animal

1.3. The Fantastical Animal: The human animal is said to be arazoiduna, according to Aristotle: It is Baca gizakia. But the logos of the animal origin of all human construction is essentially the lack of reasoning, as well as fantasy or imagination. The fantastical animal is us: fiction and the opportunity to create, build creatively, and innovate.

The human brain has mental hyperfunction, and is therefore able to create fantasies.

Reason and Fantasy

1.4. Reason and Fantasy: According to Ernst Cassirer, all other animals immediately respond to internal and external stimuli, but humans use a symbolic system, which is intermediate. Forms of language, art images, and religious rites are performed by legendary symbols or stimuli. Our world is not, therefore, a purely physical universe. Instead, we live in a symbolic universe, and myths, religion, science, language, ethics, politics, and art are its components.

Symbolic Language

Symbolic Language: The language of human-human communication is a system. According to Karl Bühler's theory, there are three main functions:

  • Indicator: Language signs are symbols, and things are what we use to express.
  • Expressive: Language signs are symptoms, and they express the speaker's inner state.
  • Caller: Language signs are signals sent to the interviewer, and the partners are looking for some way to react.

Knowledge and Language

Knowledge and Language: Language is closely linked to knowledge, and understanding the process and results of this activity. Assuming we have language skills, language and communication skills are stored because we give each other new skills. Most important is the creation of knowledge through language.

Knowledge Through Language

Knowledge is formed through language: A subject may not know an object if they do not have any kind of language code. We have not seen any links to things in themselves. And perception somehow allows us to organize human language. So we can know about the outside world and our inner world, otherwise we would not be able to. Knowledge of the language is, therefore, the language of knowledge, and it is the support. Reality is related to the knowledge of the language.
