⏹Threemain‘topics’/approaches:
experientialism,prominence,attention
1.Experientialism(vsobjectivism)
Experientialismrejectsthebasicbeliefofobjectivismthatcategoriesexistinobjectivereality,togetherwiththeirpropertiesandrelations,independentlyofourconsciousness.Symbolsoflanguagearemeaningfulbecausetheyareassociatedwiththeseobjectivecategories.Threedoctrinesofobjectivismthatarerefuted:
•Thedoctrineoftruth-conditionalmeaning:
Meaningisbasedonreference+truth
•The‘correspondence’theoryoftruth:
Truthconsistsinthecorrespondencebetweensymbolsandstates-of-affairsintheworld
•Thedoctrineofobjectivereference:
thereisan‘objectivelycorrect’waytoassociatesymbolswiththingsintheworld.
Instead,experientialismsuggeststhat“ourbodilyexperienceandthewayweuseimaginativemechanismsarecentraltohowweconstructcategoriestomakesenseofexperience.”(Lakoff1987:
