171.0. "Levels of Meaning" by ALIEN::POSTPISCHIL (Always mount a scratch monkey.) Wed Apr 09 1986 10:09
Since this is a conference on language, I thought it might be
interesting to discuss how many levels of meaning there are in the
article in note 147.12 (without discussing whether the statements made
on those levels are correct or not). I know of at least five. For
example, there is the most direct level where a sentence's predicate
expresses what is said of the subject. That is, the sentence is just
read simply, without any thought about what else is meant. There is
also the level on which the article says "Look at this made-up
language. Doesn't it seem silly?"
Can you identify three more?
