According to Morris, what are the three components of semiotics?
【正确答案】:Morris categorized pragmatics as one of the three components of semiotics, the other two being syntax and semantics:
Syntax: the study of the relationships between linguistic forms, how they are arranged in sequence and which sequences are well-formed. Semantics: the study of the relationships between linguistic forms and entities in the world, how words literally connect to things. Pragmatics: the study of the relation of linguistic units to their users.
Thus, the three branches, interconnected in fundamental ways, are responsible for different aspects of language and its usage. Primarily, syntax accounts for the grammaticality of sentence making; semantics explains the meaningfulness of sentence building; and pragmatics studies the felicity conditions or appropriateness conditions governing language use.
