In the Horizon of Language and the World (On the Holistic Concept of Meaning)

Abstract

Presenting some holistic theories and ideas, the study deals with the holistic approach to reality, especially to the language and word. In the framework of cognitive lingustics,it is possible to study lexical meaning through connotations.

So, pointing to other words (and things), every word evokes special contexts, and informations about whole language (and world) are implicated (involved) in a word.
