RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORD AND SIGNIFIER
Abstract
This article is dedicated to the word and the concept it expresses. The word arises simultaneously with the concept, it is it that creates the possibility of abstraction and generalization that characterizes the concept in comparison with the representation. The word fixes in our minds a generalized idea of reality. The relation between the word and the signified consists, therefore, in the fact that, by naming the facts of objective reality, the word also reflects them, but not directly, but through the concept fixed in the meaning of the word.
