Abstract

The article presents central paradigms on semantics and meaning. The aim is to introduce the reader of cultural studies to various aspects of modeling meaning and to provide a useful theoretical and methodological semantic apparatus. Various notions of meaning and semantics are examined from philosophical and cognitive perspectives. The author argues that meaning is a conventional entity and part of the social and cultural environment that emerges from the community of language users.
