Realism in philosophy of language

Realism in the philosophy of language is the view that words and statements correspond to real objects, properties, or facts in the world independent of our thoughts or perceptions. It holds that language accurately reflects an external reality, meaning that when we say "The sky is blue," there is an actual feature of the sky that this statement describes. Realists believe that meaning and truth are anchored in the world itself, not merely in our minds or language use. This perspective emphasizes the connection between language and an objective reality that exists regardless of our beliefs or language practices.
