Re: [UUPoly-L] UUPoly-L Digest, Vol 57, Issue 1




Yes, I have studied it. The most basic message one gets from any serious study of semantics is that "there is no inherent meaning in words". Words have meaning only to the extent that we assign meaning to them. We can assign any meaning we want to them, but unless there is more or less general agreement on that mapping system we cannot communicate meaningfully.


Best regards to all, Chuck Lee.

oooooh! That is interesting. I wish I knew more about it. I know for a fact that I screw up things by not saying what I mean better and more clearly or precisely.

Semantics is one of the fields of study I found most
enlightening.
