Black II 130
Language/Locke/Black: to transmit thoughts - (>ideas).
---
Euchner I 33
Language/Locke:
1. recording
2. communication of thoughts
3. ease and speed of communication.
Language also is a prerequisite for society.
>Communication, >Society.
---
Euchner I 170
Language/Locke/Euchner: today: Locke fails to recognize the irreducible linguistic basics of empirical perception - but the correction has already been created: to include also abstract and general ideas among the empirically given, of which each reconstruction of knowledge must start.
>Idea/Locke, >Perception/Locke, >Perception/today's theories, >Reality/today's theories, >Language/today's theories.

Arndt II 181
Language/knowledge/LockeVsPascal/VsPort Royal/Arndt:
1. no necessary relations between concepts
2. It is not clear how their content determination leads to mind independent objects.
Language/Descartes/Pascal: subsequent codifying of objects.
Locke: actual constitution of objects.
II 183
Linguistic expression/Locke: "nodes" in which ideas, summarized in the mind, find their stable expression. We must refrain from words and look at meanings. - But the ideas are something almost finished.
Arndt: problem: then indicators more representative than synthetically.
Words: signify directly the idea, objects only indirectly.
II 188
Ideas/meaning/Locke: analysis of ideas identical to the analysis of the meanings - language: not only a means of communication but also of knowledge.
Clarity/LockeVsDescartes: in his view bound to naming.
Presupposes the possibility of clear signification.
II 199
Language: is signifier at the same time and presupposes objectivity.
II 206
Language/Locke: is already finished: no one creates the abstract idea "fame" before he has heard the name. - So independence of the mixed modes of the existence of the signified - thus one can understand names before they were applied to existing things (!)
E.g. So punishments can be established for not yet committed acts.
Punch line: dependence on community is result of the independence of the existence of the signified.
Translation: problem: nominal essence: change from community to community.
Language ultimately relates to particular therefore we learn name first.
>Translation, >Names.
---
Saussure I 34
Language/Locke: These words are signs of ideas in consciousness - ideas in turn are signs for objects outside of consciousness.
>Signs, >Words.
