Language as a social phenomenon.
To be able to interpret linguistic phenomena it is important to state, that language is a product of society. According to Rossi-Landi, human appears when he overcomes the aim of satisfying immediate needs, i.e. start producing behavior instead of responding. Human results from the labour of man himself [Rossi-Landi 1983, p. 35-37; 1975, p. 31-69]. Thus, language is a result of human activity.

Saussure also separated language from speech, which is an individual act of will and mind. Within this act, according to him, it is important to distinguish operations, in which the speker uses the code of language to express thoughts, and a psychological mechanism, which allows him to to objectivise …show more content…

Eco’s “unlimited semiosis” is the only guarantee for the foundation of a semiotic system capable of checking itself entirely by its own means [Eco U. 1979; p.68].
Umberto Eco coined the term `unlimited semiosis' to refer to the way in which, for Peirce (via the `interpretant'), for Barthes (via connotation), for Derrida (via `free play') and for Lacan (via `the sliding signified'), the signified is endlessly commutable-functioning in its turn as a signifier for a further signified.
Itkonen 2011: 18: “Taken in itself, A. is an instance of circular thinking. The law which has been abduced has, as yet, no genuine support. To acquire such support, it must allow the deduction of new predictions about other (types of) data. Only if such predictions are made, and only if in addition they turn to be true, has the law been tentatively confirmed. This is essence of the hypothetico-deductive method”.
