The Location of Meaning

Abstract

Language is processive embodiment of meaning. To speak and to listen, to write and to read, require of us that we participate in the generation of meanings. Language is thus basically an event: the emergence of meaning in which man has a part to enact. It is also confrontation: an encounter in which man comes face to face with things new or renewed. It is articulation which is at once a human enactment through words and an advent of things in their meaning.
