    Study Notes

    The Human Mind

    • The mind creates a causal connection between two things when their conceptualisations are attached to each other
    • The strength of this "attachment" can be quantitative, where the accompaniment of the two things happens numerous times
    • This repeated association, even if by chance, makes one conceptualisation lead to the other.

    The Human Mind and Language

    • Before language, words could become associated with specific meanings through frequent or memorable occurrences, creating a lexical connection.

    Establishing Designation

    • One of the major results of designation is insibāq or tabādur, which refers to a figurative meaning.
    • Scholars have identified other ways to establish whether a particular meaning is designated.
