I 56
Language/Maturana: orientation behavior - not denotative. - Otherwise its evolution is not comprehensible. - It would otherwise presuppose denotation.
>Language evolution, >Denotation, >Behavior.
Language/Maturana: is connotative: Orientation in the cognitive domain - no reference to entities.
>Reference, >Operation/Maturana.
I 58
No transmitting information. - There is nothing transferred from one organism to another.
Instead: influencing an orientation.
>Information, >Communication.
I 91
Instead: preparation of a reference frame.
>Reference systems.
I 59
"Message": it is still up to the listener how he orientates himself - in orientation behavior no distinction semantics/syntax possible.
I 126
Language/Maturana: must arise as a result from anything else! The fundamental process is the coupling of ontogenetic structures, which leads to the development of a consensual area.
>Structural coupling.
I 198
Language/coverage/cover/Maturana: with action one makes distinction - with that the act turns into a consensual sign. - So the distinction is covered.
>Operation/Maturana.
E.g. Object/Subject: arises as a consensual coordination of actions - it covers the action and makes it invisible. - Objects cover actions. - Objects are not given before language.
>Objects, >Ontology.
I 199
Language: no abstraction but physically. Transmission/symbolization/meaning/denotation: these are always secondary for the observer.
>Observation, >Symbols, >Signs, >Meaning, >Denotation.
I 255
Language/Maturana: outside language we cannot distinguish anything. - Not even ourselves. - Language presupposes neurophysiology, is therefore no neurophysiological phenomenon itself.
Words: = distinctions.
>Words, >Word meaning.
I 261
Language does not operate with symbols - (these refer to something independent).
Signs/sounds/gestures: do not constitute words by themselves - and strings of signs do not constitute language action.
Language: coordination of actions.
I 282
Object in brackets: considers language as a biological phenomenon. - Changes of structural dynamics are observable.
>Objectivity/Maturana.
