When general semanticists use the expression, "the map is not the territory," to which language barrier are they referring?

1 answer:

6 0

The expression<em> "the map is not the territory", </em>was first said by the Polish scientist, <em>Alfred Korzybski.</em>

It is a metaphor. There is the reality of something (as perceived by the senses). And there are labels, symbols, abstraction of that reality created by the mind/thought for the sake of convenience, communication, or to make undersanding easier. We are often looking at maps rather than the territory, without realising it. Mind is an expert at doing this.

Korzybski held that many people do confuse maps with territories, that is, confuse models of reality with reality itself. In other words, the description of the thing is not the thing itself. The model is not reality.

I believe the word that best describes the tone of the passage is:

3. philosophical.

Explanation:

The passage is questioning the very nature of man - our capacity to be both good and evil, vile and noble. The beginning of the passage itself presents a philosophical question: "Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent yet so vicious and base?" Philosophy has as its purpose the questioning of our assumptions and understandings concerning different topics - for instance life, morals, behavior, meanings, etc. A passage that questions human nature seems, therefore, to be a philosophical passage.

2. B. Colon

The punctuation used following a salutation can be informal or formal (there really is no in between). For informal communications, you would use a comma, and for formal communications, you would use a colon. When addressing a superior, or someone in a leadership position in the workplace, it is best to be formal. Thus, a colon would be needed following the salutation.

3. A. a writing about different facts, people, events, or periods in history.

Informational texts do exactly as the name “informational” suggest—they provide unbiased (non-persuasive), true and non-fictional information (facts) about people, events, or periods in history. And, this would generally be done in an order in accordance with the timeline of the actual happenings.

4. Email address of the sender.

The “from” field in an email will show the email address from which the email is coming. Thus, if one wants to know email address the sender used to send the email, one would look in the “from” field of the email.
