Discourse Plans and Linguistic Meaning
There are two different approaches to meaning formalization: one logical, another cognitive. The logical approach, going back to Frege and developed and explicitly applied to natural language semantics by Montague, is characterized by establishing semantics from primitive semantic structures of sentential type. This approach is most consistently represented by type logical grammars (see collect...
متن کاملThe meaning of “meaning”: Reflection on linguistic school’s theoretical description of meaning in translation
The issue of meaning is undoubtedly significant in translation theory. Based on Catford’s and Nida’s view on meaning in translation, this paper aims at explore linguistic school’s contribution to the theoretical description of meaning.

Syntactic structures have correspondingly been seen only as providing instructions for the assembly of the concepts expressed by words. Under this view, sentences have meaning, but the syntactic structures which sentences instantiate do not. This paper challenges this view: it uses the phenomeno...
متن کاملLinguistic Structure Evolves to Match Meaning Structure
Quantitative analysis has usually highlighted the random nature of linguistic forms (Zipf, 1949). We zoom in on three structured samples of language (numerals; playing cards; and a corpus of artificial languages from Kirby, Cornish & Smith 2008) to quantitative explore and illustrate the idea that linguistic forms are nonrandom in that their structure reflects the structure of the meanings they...
متن کاملLinguistic Meaning from the Language Acquisition Perspective
From a plausible cognitive hypothesis explaining how little children develop complex meaning structures, we come to the conclusion that linguistic meanings are planned. The plans, we call them discourse plans, are tree-like structures composed of primitive situations and establishing referential links between the situations and the context. Linguistic meanings are second order Lambda-terms deri...
