Linguistic signs and the epistemic asymmetry

Vol.33,No.1(2019)

Abstract
In communication, the mental and physical qualities get put into language. While the former can be ascribed to their bearers in the subject-use, the ascription of the latter is only possible in the object-use. The two ways of ascribing are very different, based on diverse epistemic capacities, and there is a unilateral dependency relation between them. The text raises the question whether these conditions imply some consequences for semiology.

Keywords:
subject-use and object-use of predicates; language sign theory; P. F. Strawson; E. Husserl; M. Frank
