Abstract:

Based on the fact that Arabic words have roots from which they are derivated and their common meanings and there is a meaning relationship between words derivated from the same root Ibn Fāris tried to prove this theory in his dictionary. According to Ibn Fāris maqāyīs means the words that was derivated from a same root and have a common meaning. The purpose of writing this dictionary by Ibn Fāris is to determine the common meaning of words that was derivated from a same root. This common meaning is called asl (origin) or miqyās (gauge). He tried to mention the most obvious expression of common

Abstract:

The article attempts to identify the structure and internal logic in the correlation of the concepts of meaning formation, personal meaning, and meaning of life. It is argued that the universal way (mechanism) of generating semantic formations is the process of meaning formation, which can be both conscious and unconscious. To the authors, this process seems to be “end-to-end” and invariant in its internal structure, relevant at different levels of meaning formation.

Abstract:

In the Qur’an, which has a wealth of meaning, the use of a word in different places with different meanings is defined as “vücûh” and the use of several words with the same meaning is defined as “nezâir”. This knowledge is important in determining the meaning indicated before and after verses. Most especially, there are subtle differences in meaning between synonymous words and words with similar meaning related to nezair science.  Although sensitivity was displayed in the early periods, these concepts were generally used interchangeably in l

Abstract:

Even in infancy, concept formation has to do with creating meaning, not with tracking substances. Preverbal infants can identify a substance such as a dog, but their first concept of this substance is not dog but animal. It is difficult to account for such global concepts by the perceptual processes involved in object identification, yet these concepts are the foundation on which later concepts are built.

Abstract:

Every area of knowledge builds its descriptions using concepts. At the same time, the definition of concepts given through their characteristic features is widespread. On this basis, both basic mathematical and many philosophical concepts are built. The concepts which a person uses are subject to similar properties, and their nature is the nature of definitions. Numerous attempts to create strong artificial intelligence are based on the corresponding paradigm.

Abstract:

In physics, as in other sciences, scientific results are often presented formally, without appropriate disclosure of their physical meaning. For example, in the discussion about interacting charged bodies the meaning of charge is not discussed. It is shown that the term "electric charge" in science is conditional and has an auxiliary symbolic meaning. In reality there is a "positive" and "negative" substance in nature. There is no any charge isolated apart from the substance. In fact, in nature there are a proton and an electron as a matter. The substance of the electron and the proton substan

Meaning is a uniquely human phenomenon. In linguistics, this subject matter is especially complex, considering the multiplicity of theoretical approaches and the variety of disciplinary fields that address the issue. A similar concern applies to the concept of reference, because, although most linguists today agree that meaning and reference form two different realities, the discussion about the relation between these two terms has not yet been fully examined. Cognitive Linguistics has made a great contribution to this discussion by recognizing that we cannot present the postulate of the exist

Although the term is still rarely used in the United States, in recent years “green growth” has become part of the lexicon of global environmental policy. Unfortunately, although it is frequently cited as a public policy goal, green growth has remained vague and ill-defined, leading to conflicting interpretations and confusion over the distinction between green growth and related concepts like sustainable development. This paper seeks to clarify the meaning of green growth as a distinct concept, defining a “green growth frontier” of policies that dominate along both environmental and economic

Abstract:

This essay considers social science as a finite province of meaning. It is argued that teasing out common-sense meanings from social scientific conceptions is difficult because the meanings of scientific concepts are often veiled in life-worldly taken-for-grantedness. If social scientists have successfully created a scientific province of meaning, attempts to communicate findings outside of this reduced sphere of science should be somewhat problematic.

This article offers a conception of semantics, and of what makes the human language faculty distinctive, based on five theses: Meanings are instructions to build concepts; concatenation calls for conjunction of monadic concepts; grammatical relations invoke certain thematic relations and a kind of existential closure; lexicalization is a partly creative process of abstraction; and meanings are internalistic properties of expressions. Each of these claims is defended elsewhere. The aim here is to connect them explicitly, and compare the result with alternatives, in the hope of providing a plaus

Although of classiﬁcations of concepts varies, almost all the linguists agree on its structure.

Abstract:

This study deals with lexical pragmatic perspective not only due to its new birth but also for being a bridge that links two vivid linguistic fields that are pragmatics and semantics. On one hand, pragmatics tackles speech elements and speaker’s disclosed meaning. On the other hand, semantics is framed as the components of conceptual structure that can be represented in a certain proposition. Jackendoff (1990) comes with the concept that pragmatics and semantics, respectively, investigate how the meaning is constructed in a text regarding the speaker’s attention and the inherent meaning of wor

Abstract words refer to concepts that cannot be directly experienced through our senses (e.g. truth , morality ). How we ground the meanings of abstract words is one of the deepest problems in cognitive science today. We investigated this question in an experiment in which 62 participants were asked to communicate the meanings of words (20 abstract nouns, e.g. impulse ; 10 concrete nouns, e.g. insect ) to a partner without using the words themselves (the taboo task). We analysed the speech and associated gestures that participants used to communicate the meaning of each word in the taboo task.

Abstract:

The paper dealt with the problem of semantic concepts in the Hausa language, describing and analyzing some of its terms, and how to conceive them in the multiplicity of meaning, metaphor and semantic taboos. It also aimed to know the semantic characteristics of Hausa language that are rarely found together in another language, seeking to increase the ability to interpret meaning, to determine the level of the exact correctness of translation from and to Hausa language, understanding the ways of thinking of its people in generating meanings, and the effect of that on social life.

Abstract:

Organizations are dynamic processes through which meaning is simultaneously constructed and destroyed. Organizations may be conceived of as continua along which meaning varies according to its degree of coincidence. On the one hand, organizations are stable because coincident concepts, relationships, and values are developed through socialization. These coincident meanings eventually become crystallized as informal and formal structures and are sustained if powerful organizational leaders can suppress the expression of competing interpretations. On the other hand, organizations are precarious

Abstract:

The article concerns several dozen adjectives expressing a general positive assessment in Polish. The analysis aims to reveal the concepts that motivate the semantic development of the adjectives listed above from other, more specific meanings to the evaluation meaning. The author concludes that evaluative adjectives are motivated by concepts from several specific semantic circles, e.g. ‘large size’, ‘light’, ‘rarity’, ‘unreality’ etc.

Abstract:

An algorithm is described that uses fuzzy sets to handle word ambiguity, the main cause of vagueness in the meaning of a word. It is based on conceptual fuzzy sets (CFSs), which represent the meaning of words by linking other related words. A trial application of this algorithm to image retrieval showed that it can retrieve images that conceptually fit the meanings of the entered keyword based on the context understood from the characteristics of images. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm works well to represent various meanings of a keyword by linking it to other words an

Abstract:

Cognitive structures embody mental concepts and direct our thinking about the world. In addition, semantic approaches reveal the conceptual structures involved in organizing the meaning of a word in light of the frames by which the meanings of words are understood. To understand the most prominent cognitive theories and semantic concepts, one must rely and refer to the cognitive model consisting of the frame theory which is a cognitive theory that seeks to embody the mental concepts derived from the linguistic structure. Frames are the mental structures underlie the lexical unit and draw its p

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose and defend a theory of concepts. According to Machery (2009), psychologists and philosophers mean different things by ‘concept’. Psychologists mean bodies of knowledge used to categorise and infer; philosophers mean constituent of propositional thought. Machery’s conclusion would drive a wedge between contributions by psychologists and philosophers on concepts. Theories about the former would have no clear role to play in, and cast no light on, the latter, and vice versa. We argue that, on the contrary, ‘concept’ has a single core meaning: a container of stored knowle

Abstract:

The article focuses on the subject of polysemy in the Karachay-Balkar language. Through polyse-my, new concepts appear in a language without changing or with a slight change in the sound ex-pression of these concepts. The development of polysemy is based on the figurative meaning or one meaning of an existing word to a new concept through the associative connection of ideas similar to them. Therefore, an unconditional condition for the development of polysemy is the stability of the phonetic word, which in turn is determined by the concept it expresses. Polysemy should be recognized as an impo

Abstract:

The issue of the principles of criminal law remains one of the most controversial topics despite the continuous attention paid to it in the criminal law field. The criminal law is undergoing constant changes. In this regard, the importance of straightforward and objective guidelines, which could help in the process of improving the criminal law and its application, is increasing as never before. This role has long been assigned to the principles of criminal law. It is important to note that in modern works on the problems of criminal law principles, the emphasis is shifted towards the study of
