ABSTRACT

Lee, Chan-Kyu. 2004. System-based Approach to the Analysis of Meaning of Utterances. Korean Semantics, 15. The objective of this paper is to confirm the possibility of applying the System Theory and the Fuzzy Theory when analyzing the meanings of utterances in different levels of communication.Analysis of language meanings may be undertaken in various levels. While the analysis of meaning on pragmatic level enhances the accuracy of the analysis by presenting a framework of contextual situation, the analysis using the system improves the accuracy in interpreting the meaning since all elements of communication are considered as variables in analyzing the meaning. The systematic approach allows a much more sound and appropriate meaning analysis compared to the analysis simply based on the current contextual situation since the systematic approach coverage ranges from social and cultural contexts under which communication takes place to the meanings created between communicators or past communications. However, the participants in the communication process do not communicate by recognizing each of the system components, but they use part of the tools selectively in a fuzzy method. The main topics of this study are as follows; 1) The meaning of language consists of fuzzy characteristics from the communication point of view. 2) Communication process is influenced by the system. 3) Those that participate in the communication process select a set of fuzzy elements based on the intuition or random reasoning, which evolved within the system.
