THE MEANING OF LANGUAGE Speakers of Language can produce meaningful words to other speakers : • my bike is pink. (information) • Have you got breakfast? (ask question) • Stop talking! (give command) • May you have a happy life. (express wishes)
When you know a language • Flick (meaningful) vsBlick (meaningless) • Johan swims (meaningful) vsSwims logical every (meaningless) • Bank (institution) vsBank (river) • Tono saw the girl with the telescope (ambiguity) • Sofa and Couch (synonym) • Rina put off the meeting vsRina put the meeting off (same meaning) • Alive vs Dead (opppositness)
Speakers know the real-word objects refer to like “chair in the corner”. They can also identify the knowledge even the words do not refer to an actual word “the beauty inside your heart”. • When speakers have the capacity to discover whether the meaning of a sentence is being true or false it is called truth condition. • All kings are male [√] • All bachelors are married [X]
