The problem with which we shall be concerned in this lecture is the problem of determining what is the relation called "meaning. " The word "Napoleon" , we say, "means" a certain person.【F1】
In saying this, we are asserting a relation between the word "Napoleon" and the person so designated. It is this relation that we must now investigate.
Let us first consider what sort of object a word is when considered simply as a physical thing, apart from its meaning. To begin with, there are many instances of a word, namely all the different occasions when it is employed. Thus a word is not something unique and particular, but a set of occurrences.【F2】
If we confine ourselves to spoken words, a word has two aspects, according as we regard it from the point of view of the speaker or from that of the hearer.
From the point of view of the speaker, a single instance of the use of a word consists of a certain set of movements in the throat and mouth, combined with breath. From the point of view of the hearer,【F3】
a single instance of the use of a word consists of a certain series of sounds, each being approximately represented by a single letter in writing
, though in practice a letter may represent several sounds, or several letters may represent one sound. The connection between the spoken word and the word as it reaches the hearer is causal. Let us confine ourselves to the spoken word, which is the more important for the analysis of what is called " thought. "【F4】
Then we may say that a single instance of the spoken word consists of a series of movements, and the word consists of a whole set of such series, each member of the set being very similar to each other member
. That is to say, any two instances of the word "Napoleon" are very similar, and each instance consists of a series of movements in the mouth.
A single word, accordingly, is by no means simple. It is a class of similar series of movements(confining ourselves still to the spoken word).【F5】
The degree of similarity required cannot be precisely defined: a man may pronounce the word " Napoleon" so badly that it can hardly be determined whether he has really pronounced it or not.
The instances of a word shade off into other movements by imperceptible degrees. And exactly analogous observations apply to words heard or written or read.
【F4】
