What Is Meaning? (1960s)
The film explores the complexities of meaning in language, highlighting three types: denotative meaning (the literal reference of a word), conceptual meaning (the ideas associated with a word), and evocative meaning (the emotions and images a word evokes). It illustrates how words like “horse” can have different interpretations based on personal experiences and cultural context. The discussion emphasizes that understanding meaning involves recognizing these layers and the dynamic nature of language as it relates to human experience.
