In this
chapter, we can know that the understanding of the word-object relationship is
also dependent on certain cognitive and analytic skills these ways to understand
the sentences are. Animals can organize the sensory world by a process of
categorization. And in humans this process of categorization becomes
"naming", the ability to assign a name to a category. The
meaning-bearing elements of language stand for the act of categorization not for
specific objects. It means that the same thing may be expressed in
different words. The main point of this chapter is that the basic
cognitive mechanisms of semantics are processes of categorization.
