The nature of linguistic language as a symbolic system: semiotic and cognitive perspective

Аннотация

Language is a vital element of human interaction, serving not only as a means of communication but also as a symbolic system for conveying meaning. The core of language’s function lies in its capacity to represent abstract ideas, experiences, and objects through symbols. This paper explores the symbolic nature of language, examining it through perspectives drawn from semiotics, cognitive linguistics, and social theory. The analysis underscores that the power of language lies in its symbolic capacity, which allows for the creation and exchange of meaning in dynamic social contexts.
