The problem «thing is a simbol» in the precedent text

Abstract

To some extent, what a person achieves in life depends on the name. Consequently, the essence,
function and meaning of things are measured by their correspondence to man. The nature of participation is
determined by human culture and determined by specific historical, cultural and social characteristics.
The article analyzes the symbolic meaning of a thing in precedent texts (epics, poetry of Zhyrau) in the
knowledge of the nation, people, the mythological image of the world, transmitted through material values.
The emergence of special research works on the semiotic problem of general cultural texts is very important,
and its history goes back two centuries. These are the works of R. Barthes, A. Greimas, L. Elmslev, E. Cassirer, E.
Leach, C. Morris, C. Pierce, R. Jacobson and other foreign scientists. Among Russian scientists on this issue there
are works by M.M. Bakhtin, A.K. Bayburin, N.M. Kalashnikova, Yu.M. Lotman, A.F. Losev, S.T. Makhlina, Yu.S.
Stepanova, V.N. Toporova, B.A. Uspensky.
As a result of research based on linguocultural and linguo-philosophical considerations, the object is both
a sign and a symbol. Thus, we conclude that the study of matter is the subject of study of both semiotics and
semantics.
