Explain the statement, “Words are symbols and meaning exist in mind”. Supplement with relevant examples.
The symbols are arbitrary and can be anything to represent reality. But once a symbol is created, it is imbued with meaning. We can correctly or incorrectly understand reality and create symbols to represent something that is or is not, that does or doesn’t exist. Those who created the original meaning of a word can also limit a proper realistic understanding of reality. As such, some definition can be understood in greater depth by actually look at reality and how the word is used to reference aspects of reality in greater degrees of clarity. The definition is one layer of the attempt to reflect reality in all it’s diversity, variability and multiplicity.
Images in the mind that reference or imitate reality, can be referenced or imitated through symbols. Symbols in turn can imitate reality and elicit, invoke and summon images in the mind. The more abstract the symbols, such as those of letters and words compared to pictographs, the more differential is the imitation invoked. Letters and words look less like an object in reality, and more altered in form/shape, compared to pictograph direct images of reality.
This abstraction power of consciousness can also invent phantasmal (fantasy) images in the mind’s eye
