摘要

“意义”一词通常被认为在严格意义上只指语言；像“某个微笑的意义”，或者更确切地说，“你生活的意义”这样的表达被视为隐喻。然而，语言意义只是一个特例；更普遍地说，意义可以定义为神经系统中某些模式（符号）与他们调用的其他模式（指代物）的关联。然而，这个定义似乎涵盖了整个精神生活，因为我们头脑的全部内容都是由模式的联想组成的。需要更高的精度。

Meaning in Human Ecology

The word “meaning” is commonly thought of as referring in its strict sense only to language; expressions like “the meaning of a certain smile” or, still more, “the meaning of your life” are regarded as metaphor. However, linguistic meaning is only a special case; more generally, meaning can be defined as the association in a nervous system of certain patterns (signs) with others that they call up (referents). However, this definition seems to cover the whole of mental life, for the whole content of our minds is made up of the association of patterns. More precision is needed.
