LANGUAGE AS A SYSTEM OF SIGNS THAT REFLECTS THE MODEL OF REALITY
Abstract
Language is a powerful and complex system of signs that enables humans to communicate, interpret, and construct their understanding of the world. Drawing from semiotic theory and linguistic structuralism, language is viewed as a representational system that mirrors reality by assigning meaning to objects, actions, and ideas. This article explores the concept of language as a system of signs, its role in shaping our perception of reality, and how cultural and social contexts influence the interpretation of these signs. Understanding language through this lens allows us to appreciate how it not only reflects but also constructs the model of reality shared by individuals and communities.Keywords
