The Past and Future of Meaning

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

For many centuries, a predominant view of meaning was that the meaning of a word is some kind of chunk of mind-stuff ("idea") glued to the word and animating it. However, while the traditional view was that we must first understand meaning, which enablesus to understand language and hence our linguistic practices, a new approach to semantics that has emerged in the second half of the twentieth century, and which I see as marking the future of meaning, suggests that it is our linguistic practices on which we must concentrate from the beginning. In this paper I suggest a specific understanding of these practices, yielding the conclusion that meanings are reasonably seen as creatures of our activity of setting up certain systems of rules, thus opening upnew kinds of virtual spaces which we can "enter".
