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.

Do you think fragments and run-one are good or bad strategies for writing ? Explain why

soldier1979 [14.2K]

A run-on sentence usually occurs when two separate sentences or clauses are improperly combined. However, unlike sentence fragments, run-on sentences can still be technically grammatically correct. So technically the are bad.

Write a letter to travel agency for booking a tourist twor and guide for sight seeing

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Dear sir or madam,

I am going on holiday to New York in June, and I would like to book some services from this travel agency.

I have seen on your web page that you have different tourist tour options. I am interested in booking the evening New York City tour and guide for sightseeing for June 3nd if possible. It would be for two persons, my husband and me. Also, I would like to know the tour's length and if specific clothes, such as comfortable shoes, are recommended.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and the availability of the tour.

Yours faithfully.

Lindsay Hughs.

Explanation:

When we write a letter, the first thing that we have to do is address the person to who we are writing. As we do not know their name, we write sir or madam.

In the first paragraph, we have to introduce the reason why we are writing. We tell the reader that we are going on holiday and are interested in the travel agency services.

In the body of the letter, we describe in detail what we want. That is to say, the date that we want to book the tour, the number of people, and any information that we would like to know.

In the last paragraph, we use a closing sentence saying that we are waiting for their answer, and lastly, we say our goodbyes.
