Abstract
In this Chapter, I wish to discuss two strongly divergent conceptions of language which play both an important rôle in the contemporary philosophy of science. H. J. Pos, in a lecture on Language as a Symbolical Functions, described the mutual relations between signifies and linguistics by saying: “Signifies confines itself to the one-sided consideration of the act of speaking and its effect; linguistics considers the factor, which in this connexion cannot be dispensed with, in itself, i.e. language.”
