By reading the fourth chapter of Culler, I learned some of the relationships between language and meaning. I found that the meaning of language is its usage. When used in different contexts, different words have different meanings. As culler mentioned “a word. We can say that dance means “rhythmic and regular movement”, but what does this sentence mean?” It has both superficial and deep meanings. Therefore, when we are reading or studying, we must analyze and connect the semantic meaning of the context to analyze what the author wants to say and what it means. In life too, we have to analyze what others want to express based on the context of the time. The relationship between language art, language, and meaning makes me very interested in research and learning.
