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.
