semantic basis Explanation: Semantic is the study of meaning, signs and symbols used for communication. The word is derived from “sema”, a Greek word meaning signs. ... So, when a message is sent by a sender to a receiver, it might be interpreted wrongly in a communication process causing misunderstandings between them https://www.businesstopia.net/communication/semantic-barrier... As Wiener points out, the transmission of information defines the extension of a community. In the course of this argument he stresses the importance of the relation of observable behaviour and information. In other words he underlines the close link between the semantic and the pragmatic dimension of communication. A special role might be attributed to the ability of humans to abstract from semantic content. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.318... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2021-03-28 12:58:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In his time Norbert Wiener certainly was correct to emphasize the pragmatic dimension of language. He went so far to even collapse the semantic and pragmatic aspect into his definition of information: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.318... Wiener also encouraged a semantic interpretation of information theory. In On the Human Use of Human Beings, a popularization of cybernetics, Wiener (1950) gave a nonsemantic definition of information as negative entropy, similar to that in Cybernetics. But he then equated amount of information with the “amount of meaning” of a message to support his semantic use of “information” throughout the book https://monoskop.org/images/f/f2/Kline_Ronald_R_2004_What_Is... ccccccccccccccc -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2021-03-28 13:00:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ccccccccccc Shannon, on the one hand, acknowledged different concept of information, even arguing that the word should not be used for his quantitative concept but failing to find a suitable replacement [60]. Wiener, on the other, was clear that signals had semantic content as well as information content [80] http://www.ephemerajournal.org/contribution/information-cybe... |
