Language and Communication
In the study of language, it has been recognized that words used to convey sensory perceptions, feelings and emotions, but carry no meaning of themselves. They can trigger feelings or sensations that the listener has experienced--not more than that. We know that the perception of color varies with light, background, and distance" What is green seen by a colorblind person? Which is the "real" color.* Are we not, in asking that question, implying that color exists independent of the observer?
Similarly, when we characterize art individual or a social behavior as "good" or "bad", we are communicating the contention that this evaluation is absolute, objective and unchanging. Yet it should be apparent that varying observers would present disparate evaluations. We may, then, attempt to wig agreement by describing the behavior in question, offering criteria on which judgment was based, indicating that these criteria are personal This communication style, the semanticist holds, will help bridge the gap between individuals and make the more likely that people will understand each other.
Students of language have experimented with the use of non-symbolic language as a means of overcoming linguistic barriers. The language of sounds, as in the cases of infants and animals, and the language of facial expression and body pose, have been termed "phatic communion" by Bronislaw Malinowski. We all know people
who have good "poker faces". We also know some whose faces communicate--sometimes contradicting their spoken sentiments. Korzybski has pointed out that signal reactions, instantaneous and unmediated, if undifferentiated according to the appropriateness of the situation, reflect immature, impulsive personalities, while the development of the ability to delay response will permit modified, thoughtful symbol behavior, a characteristic of the mature person. (282)
