Social and Cultural Learning in the Evolution of Human Communication
نویسنده
چکیده
2. Meaning: An intricate system of conceptualisation underlies language (Langacker,1987). This system consists of a way to organise the world into different objects and events, a way to categorise them, and a way to introduce structure from the viewpoint of the speaker and listener. For example, the phrase ”The car is behind the tree”, implies that the speaker and listener view themselves as positioned on a line which goes from themselves to the tree and then to the car. Human conceptualisation is not fixed but expands and adapts to the need of the community. It is partly grounded in the real world through a sensori-motor apparatus and partly abstract based on purely symbolic relations between abstract concepts.
