The meaning of a word is the meaning of a word, which reflects the objective phenomenon by the subjective subject, including people's understanding of various characteristics of the objective phenomenon, and it reflects the general or essential characteristics of the objective phenomenon.

Meaning includes lexical meaning, grammatical meaning and color meaning (including emotional color and stylistic color).

The linguistic function of word meaning is to determine the connection between a word and what it calls.

Because everyone's age, experience and knowledge are different, the same word has different meanings. For example, adults understand the word "human" more deeply than children, while anthropologists understand it more deeply. But we can communicate because we haven't broken through the general object and scope of word meaning recognized by society.

There are also objective and subjective meanings of a word. Word meaning is the reflection of objective things in the human brain; At the same time, the meaning of words is also the result of people's thinking activities, not the things they refer to.

The meaning of words is not immutable. With the development of society, people should not only inherit the previous meaning to inherit the culture, but also extend the new meaning to explain new things on the basis of the existing meaning.

Original meaning and escape

The original meaning of a word is its original meaning. Due to the various connections between things, when people use the same word to refer to one thing related to another, there will be a phenomenon of polysemy. A word has multiple interrelated meanings, which is called polysemy. Derived from the original meaning means to escape. Escape generally includes figurative meaning and extended meaning.

Metaphorical meaning is the meaning produced by analogy. For example, the original meaning of "Gang" is "the general rope of lifting the net", and its figurative meaning is the most important part to describe things in "Gang". It is worth noting that the figurative meaning and rhetorical metaphor of words are different. The figurative meaning of words is the meaning fixed in long-term use.

For example, "this matter has run aground." The original meaning of "grounding" is that the ship can't run when it enters shallow water. The metaphor here is that things are blocked and cannot be carried out. Rhetorical metaphor is temporary, such as "he laughs like a flower", "like a flower" is just a metaphor, and the meaning of flower has not changed.

The extended meaning comes from the original meaning of the word. For example, the original meaning of "soldier" is a weapon, and here it links from the original meaning to the person who holds the weapon.
