Read the passage and identify the false statement: Language is the primary source of communication for humans and is used to convey thoughts, feelings, intentions and desires to others (Bonvillain 2008:1). Many rules are taken into account when forming a language. According to Bolton, language is arbitrary and is unrepresentative of the objects it represents (Bolton 1996: 63). The study of Semantics allows us to identify the meaning of words and phrases in their literal sense, and helps us to make meaning out of arbitrary sounds and phrases. It has been contributed to by both linguists and philosophers. Linguists use lexical decomposition to understand the features that comprise words and the categories in which the words fit. Philosophers dealt more with the meanings of sentences and truth conditions and reference (Parker and Riley 2010: 28). Semantics is still not a completely understood field, and as a result, it is not easy to study (Parker and Riley 2010:26-27). Semantics is split into three different sections: sense, reference and truth conditions. |
