Abstract
The time is ripe for simplifying the theory of meaning. This simplification is made possible by introducing a more articulated view of the way intuitive meanings can generate highly complex semantic architecture, as displayed by the expressive resources of natural language.
“We must look for the roots of basic linguistic structures in the relations between the active subject and reality, and not in the mind itself.”
