Better than sucking it.....
You might struggle to find it on google, I forget myself sometimes.
how is it bollocks...blagsta already said no one knows how the brain can understand language...how we react to it...you try far far far too hard to understand human logic it's unreal...in reality it's very fucking simplistic..can you not realise this by now?

This link explains why it is bullshit clearly.
And I have already pointed out how it actually does.
there is no such thing as the internet.
you are only a figment of your imagination ...
A link in Russian? How exactly?
No you haven't.
*I don't know why I bothered
Well, yeah obviously. Your name is one of the strongest of response words.
Third post of the thread.
MY third post of the thread. Sorry for the fuck up, my fault entirely.
And this means...what exactly? A load of pseudo-scientific shite from you and some links that spectacularly fail to back up your waffle in any way, shape or form. Do you actually read the links you post? or do you just post anything that looks vaguely scientific in the hope of confusing people?
I am sorry?
I thought that you would be able to look at the way you yourself process language.
Or are you really saying that when you read "FIRE" you have no sound, no feeling, no smell, no sensory equivalent in your own internal experience?
Could it be Blagsta that you are that unaware of your own thoughts?
Would you like some help in this regard?
How does what you wrote explain how the brain processes language? All you've done is write some simplistic obvious guff, posted some random links and think you have the answers. You don't, no one really knows how the brain processes perceptions, least of all someone without any post-graduate training in neuroscience and linguistics. You have far too high an opinion of yourself. Get over it.
Are you saying that you process the word "fire" without seeing something, hearing something etc in your internal experience?
You asked me how language worked. I pointed this out. You said that I hadn't shown how language worked. I pointed this out. Now you are saying that you know how language works and that it's obvious.
Like wtf??!!
So, I say "fire" and it triggers all those associations. Your conscious mind picks the one most fitting to the situation to repond to. Hence language doesn't evoke "meaning" it gets responses. As all "meanings" are processed (by the non dominant hemisphere/unconscious mind) and then an appropriate one is selected consciously for reponse, then signs have ALL "meanings" at the same time.
So semiotics is bunnies.
Oh dear, you're running round in circles. You seriously overestimate your own intelligence, and you need to actually start reading the links that you post, 'cos amusingly enough, semiotics and you are actually in more agreement than you think...
Overestimate? Nahhh.
What do you think of semiotics, Blagsta?
Going by the illogical, inconsistent and badly thought out nonsense you post on here, I'd say so.
I think its a useful tool for thinking about language, meaning and culture.
Does it occur to you that I know I am stupid?
Really? I think it's bollox.
Yes. Arrogance is often a cover up for inadequacy.
You haven't explained why though.
Huh?
I am definite, it's not the same as arrogance.
I think I have a fair few times now. Tell you what I will come up with an entirely new set of reasons why it's crap. -
Because it's arse about tit. It has everything backwards.
Your posting style is extremely arrogant. And I'm not really definite about anything - if you're definite about what you know and don't know, you're close minded and won't learn.
No you haven't. What you have done is demonstrate your inability to read and understand the links you post.
This is meaningless without further explanation.
Explain please. How are you interpreting my posting style as arrogant?
There is always something you can be definite about.
If there is a gap, it might be between what I mean by the signs I use and the signs you use. they are the same signs, of course, but as our "meaning" has litle overlap we obviously aren't communicating much. Perhaps if you went over the posts you flat out dismissed and read those we might get closer.
? Semiotics says things happen in a certain order. i am saying that that order is backwards. Seems obvious to me.
because you are dellusional
I've said a number of times already. You come across like a religous fundamentalist, you just KNOW that you're right, won't be told otherwise, can't see why other people can't see it and can't back up any of your points.
Is there?
Nope. You've completely misunderstood semiotics. I've pointed out where on a number of occasions.
This is still meaningless without further explanation.
