Word and Object
"Word" refers to a specific symbol or set of characters used to represent an idea, object, or action within language, functioning as a building block for communication. "Object," in this context, is what the word denotes—an item, concept, or thing in the real or imagined world. For example, the word "apple" is a linguistic symbol that points to the actual fruit. This relationship between words and objects is central to language, allowing us to share information about the world through symbolic labels that stand for various things around us.
