Being and understanding: the relationship between language, cognition and shared world

Abstract

In the present work I maintain that our cognition is influenced by language but recognizing a shared world as the seat of cognition. Firstly, I develop the reasons that make us think that the language has a particular grammar and semantics, and what this has to do with knowledge. Secondly, I discuss the problem of the influence of language on cognition and why this is important for outlining all epistemic intuition and our conception of a shared world. Finally, I present what was investigated on the notion of being as an objective world, and a conclusion where cognition, language and the extramental reality are related.
