Meaning: its nature, functions and functioning

Shulamith Kreitler

Аннотация


The Kreitler meaning system is a theory and methodology for the conceptualization, assessment and applications of meaning. Meaning is defined as a pattern of cognitive contents focused on a referent. The constructs of the system are: referent, meaning value, meaning unit and meaning variables describing its contents and structure. Its properties are: operational activation, complexity, development, regressiveness, self-embeddedness, selectivity, and dynamism. The meaning test and the meaning profile enable assessment. Meaning manifestations in cognition, personality, emotions, and consciousness are described.
