DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONCEPT AND MEANING
Keywords:
concept, meaning, categories.Abstract
Meaning is formulated in order to draw conclusions and to solve technical problems. Tinkering around as long as it takes, until something halfway interesting comes out or can be concluded. Meaning is cognitive and communicative functions in the first place. Concepts, in contrast, are like continua relations and visions of possibilities. Linguists seems to be that area of intellectual activity, where the difference between concepts and definitions and consequently the difference between seeing something on the one hand and calculating it on the other hand, gapes apart most strongly and widely. In this article, we discuss this difference from several viewpoints.
