The Paradoxes of Reference in Descriptive, Causal and Structural Theories
Nova Рrisutnost. 2013. Vol. 11. No. 2. P. 183–191.
In this paper, the author wants to compare two well-known approaches to determining the nature of meaning: ‘descriptive’ and ‘causal’, pointing out their principal difficulties and after that offer an option of establishing the meaning adopted in structural linguistics. On the author’s opinion, the structural approach would allow us, first of all, to better clarify the causes of the difficulties arising in descriptive and causal theories, namely, how it is possible to fix the meaning of an object, and second, to show why these difficulties are fundamentally unattainable. It is precisely the last point that author would like to try to defend.

In this article I propose a reconstruction of the link between the concept of the system of philosophy as “the history of self-consciousness” put forward by Schelling in the treatise The System of Transcendental Idealism (1800), and one of the key elements of the Kantian critical philosophy, the teaching on the transcendental ideal. Differentiating three ...

Precedent as a linguistic phenomenon is a complex phenomenon that can create a comprehensive image with
minimal linguistic costs due to an extensive cognitive base. The mechanism involved in the use of precedent phenomena is similar to the process of metaphorization, since two cognitive spheres are involved, one of which is a resource base for describing ...

This article examines the semantic and pragmatic transformations of cognitive linguistic terms influenced by mass media. When introduced into non-specialized discourse, a term can lose its connection with its scientific concept and develop new, common meanings through processes of narrowing, broadening, differentiation, attraction, metaphorical and metonymic transfer, and more. This results in an incorrect representation ...

Шмитт К., М.: Ад Маргинем Пресс, 2026.
В этом тексте немецкий философ, правовед и политический теоретик Карл Шмитт (1888–1985) предстает в непривычном амплуа. Книга «Гамлет или Гекуба» возникла из семинара, организованного для небольшого круга учеников, и увидела свет в 1956 году. Шмитт погружается в эпоху Шекспира, анализируя политическую обстановку елизаветинской Англии и фигуру короля Якова I Стюарта, чтобы разгадать тайну самого странного и нетипичного мстителя в мировой литературе, павшего жертвой собственной нерешительности. В рассуждение о гамлетовской ...

The problems of studying the lexical structure of a word have a way out into various areas of cognitive science, including biosemiotics. In the article, the biosemiotic approach is reframed into a biosemantic approach based on decoding specific lexical structures. The lexical invariants of polysemous words are shown to be meaningful cores of their figurative ...

An attempt is made to consider the process of meaning making from the pragmasemantic point of view. This makes it possible to show how the main factors of meaning making—sociocultural practices and agency—interact. Their interaction is not linear. Agency is the result of assimilation of sociocultural experience and accompanying communication in a narrative format. Self-awareness is the ...

The analysis of complex systems from an information theoretical perspective requires a more complex framework than that entertained in Shannon's mathematical theory of communication. Extending this theory from engineering to semantic communications allows us to move from the static to dynamic aspects of information communication. While in engineering communications information is only measurable, in semantic ...
