Words and meanings

Words open worlds.

Words make sense in sentences that can be as short as a single word or as long as a paragraph in a German scientific journal.

The world of words is very deep and wide- amazingly so. Consider, for example, these three fellows and their followers:

Peirce's Semiotics analyse signs and significations in the broadest sense of the words.
-  Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is counted among the most significant American Philosophers of all times.

de Saussure's Semiotics analyse words, significations and underlying meanings.
- Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913 ) is considered the founding father of modern linguistics and structuralism.

Logical positivism discusses meaningful and meaningless use of language
- Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is counted among the most significant Philosophers of 20th century.
