Linguistic meaning as a part of the conceptual model of the world

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the concept of model of the word. It concerns a pre-linguistic stadium of language acquisition, descriptive content of proper names and interpretation by means of a conceptual system. Model of the world comprises all aspects of being conscious. It is a system, a unity, a background of our conscious life; perception, language, notions, concepts, are its aspects. The more we know about cognitive processes, functions and structure of the mind, the better we understand the nature of language; the more we know about language, the better we understand the nature of the mind. Linguistic mining as it shown at the studies in language and categories acquisition, has its origin in the aforementioned model. That is why linguistic meanings are not ready made contents, ideas, semantic entities, etc. but rather systems of procedures that constitute sense of speech acts. The approach to linguistic meaning as part of individual conceptual system, a system of information that mirrors cognitive, linguistic and non-verbal experience of individual, is much of help in understanding efficacy of language, forming of beliefs, convictions and also introducing new meaning.
