Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/Cd6ty5fmwlIn other words, what the observer calls an “object”, is for the organism an inseparable component of an activity cluster. Nevertheless, at this point the stage is set for a momentous step that opens the way to a new kind of operation. No doubt, this step, like every other in the process of evolution, is fostered by the selective pressure of the environment; but for the functioning of the organism, it constitutes a discrete novelty like the opening of a new pathway in its processor.Sarah OberbichlerTextAnnotation

Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/Cl29d1aeltAccording to the view I am proposing, communicatory behavior is a mode of action, its function is to link concerted activity, and it is indispensable because without these links there could be no unified social action. Thus it is an instrument which is to say, a tool.Sarah OberbichlerTextAnnotation

Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/Jnn3h8oxj3For induction, whether it is conscious in the form of a conclusion we draw, or unconscious in the form of a behavior that becomes established because of its success, springs always from the same root: a more or less regular recurrence in past experience.Sarah OberbichlerTextAnnotation

Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/JoziuyyrdiIt is in this sense that communication must be considered “instrumental”, “goal-directed”, and therefore “purposive”.Sarah OberbichlerTextAnnotation

Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/Or476gfo78In order to become a reference item, the object has to be cut loose from its original context where it was a more or less relevant sensory adjunct to an activity cluster, and it must become something very like a “representation”.Sarah OberbichlerTextAnnotation

Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/V00v2qclrdTo sum up this discussion of linguistic communication, I would suggest three criteria to distinguish ‘‘language’’, all of which are necessary but individually insufficient:

There must be a set (lexicon) of communicatory signs, i.e., perceptual items whose meaningfulness (SEMANTICITY) is constituted by a conventional tie (semantic nexus) and not by an inferential one.

These signs must be symbols, i.e., linked to representations (SYMBOLICITY) therefore they can be sent without reference to perceptual instances of the items they designate, and received without “triggering” a behavioral response in the receiver. As symbols they merely activate the connected representation.

There must be a set of rules (GRAMMAR) governing the combination of signs into strings such that certain combinations produce a new semantic content in addition to the individual content of the component signs.

Annotationen:The Development of Language as Purposive Behavior/ZjiavvwbigAn activity, thus, will be called “purposive” if it serves to reduce or eliminate the discrepancy (negative feedback) between the value of a sensory signal and the reference value in such a “teleological” unit.Sarah OberbichlerTextAnnotation
