Stanley Cavell on Lexicon - Dictionary of Arguments
II 190 Lexicon/Language/Meaning/Cavell: e.g. we want to know what "Umiak" means and look into the lexicon. What do we do? We cannot discover anything about the world here. It is also not a characteristic process of learning. >Learning, >Meaning, >Translation. Before we took the lexicon, we knew everything about the word, so to speak, but not what we were supposed to associate with it. We knew already what a noun is, how to name an item and look up a word, what boats are, and what an Eskimo is. In fact, we have brought the world to the lexicon! >Words, >Word meaning, >World/thinking. The opposite route is necessary if, for example, we discover a small boat in Alaska we have never seen before. (Picture book to identify birds Vs lexicon). Question: What is it or how is it called? >Naming, >Identification, >Individuation. II 191 Cavell: How you can find out depends on what you already know. >Knowledge, >Prior knowledge._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
