title: ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES OF LANGUAGE FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF AUTOPOIESIS
creator: Kravchenko, Prof. A.V.
subject: Philosophy of Language
subject: Cognitive Psychology
description: The structuralist heritage in linguistics continues to obscure the essential properties of natural language as an empirical phenomenon. It is argued that the new framework of autopoiesis possesses a greater explanatory power, as it assumes the connotational na-ture of language. The key notions of representation, sign and signification, interpreta-tion, intentionality and communication, and reciprocal causality, approached from the autopoietic angle, allow for deeper insights into the essence of language which is as a kind of adaptive behavior of an organism involving a system constituted by signs of signs.
