How are we able to communicate ideas through incomplete langauge?
How are we able to communicate ideas through incomplete langauge?
We are able to do so because the langauge is based on, words and sentences, which each points toward an abstract or real object.

Re: How are we able to communicate ideas through incomplete langauge?
Language is the verbalisation or textualisation of thought but it is incomplete because it evolves over time
Thought itself is incomplete so it is only natural that the means by which it is expressed is also incomplete
Also dictionaries are descriptive not prescriptive so words are therefore not defined absolutely but are flexible with regard to usage
This lack of rigour means the meaning of words can change over time and also that new ones are created and old ones are discarded

True. I, however, do not understand how this is related to the topic of this thread.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:23 pm Language is the verbalisation or textualisation of thought but it is incomplete because it evolves over time

There is a relationship between ideas and language and both are incompletebahman wrote:

Yes. We can however communicate considering the fact that ideas and language together is complete.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 10:43 pmThere is a relationship between ideas and language and both are incompletebahman wrote:

Re: How are we able to communicate ideas through incomplete langauge?
Abstract and real objects are the only input that we have. We also have tool of language. The definition of any word eventually leads to abstract and real objects. That is how things are. Can you give me an example of a word which its definition is not based on abstract and real objects?

I googled oing but I couldn't get what do you mean. Could you please elaborate?Impenitent wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 10:08 pmoing

Re: How are we able to communicate ideas through incomplete langauge?
"oing" makes sense because of the thread title. What makes sense, communicates.
"oing" is missing a letter, which makes it incomplete, referencing the thread title of incomplete language.
The missing letter is most likely g. It may also be b or p to make slang, or h to make more slang.
A d would make sense in relation to the question.
L has an outside chance.
Conclusion: The answer to the thread title question is, imprecisely.
oing, oing, one.
Re: How are we able to communicate ideas through incomplete langauge?
Circularity.
All words are circular in nature.
In progressing to further words these new words cycle back to the original.
Each word as applied by the subject to an object is a cycle, as this definition of the object becomes a loop within the observer's perception. This loop is the repetition of the word and image of the object (with this image/word being a cycle). Memory is the repition of events as a loop.
The loop between the word and object, through the subject, is repeated to further subjects as a loop thus the word becomes objective (ie given form, with this form occurring through a looping movement.).
Keep in mind the word "point" you use. It is not only necessitating a form of direction but a dynamic change that under lies language. When you "point" you are directing your assumptive capacity to something and are being imprinted (changing) through it.
The object as "the point" becomes that which you assume reality through without thought. So I may point to a bike on the road, assume it, and observe all bikes through the pattern of that bike. I may also observer further phenomenon, such as a cloud or wheel, through the pattern of that bike.
Thus each phenomenon we assume, acts as a pattern for assuming further phenomenon as well.
We assume through instrincially empty looping patterns and we are assumed by this. "Pointing" is the inversion of one pattern of assumptions to another, thus necessitates consciousness as grounded in isomorphism and as such is formless. This formless nature of consciousness is the unconscious, that which is passive and is imprinted by reality.
The repition of this inversion, or the projection of formless, is consciousness itself.
