“…The semiological school discussed here, Anna Wierzbicka's Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM), subscribes to a strong relativist position on language and communication. Both approaches, global semiotics and NSM theory, have been discussed in greater detail from an integrational linguistic perspective (however, not with special reference to communication) by Pablé and Hutton (2015) and Wawrzyniak (2010), respectively.…”

This paper adopts as its point of reference an integrational semiology as developed by Oxford Professor of linguistics Roy Harris. It contrasts two contemporary approaches to communication as proposed by global semiotics and Saussurean semiology. Against the former, integrational linguists argue that there is no ‘science’ of communication (i.e., there is no way to isolate communication as a ‘thing’ and only then decide what is rightly called

“…"Interjections and emotion" raises both general questions about natural semantic metalanguage (NSM), and particular ones about theoretical challenges of expressive vocabulary. Since NSM's weaknesses as a semantic theory are well known (Geeraerts, 2010;Riemer, 2006;Wawrzyniak, 2010), I will limit myself to the second question.…”

Natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) assumes that interjections' meaning is principally conceptual (descriptive). However, the expressive character of immediate interjections requires the rejection of any conceptualist approach to their meaning. When compared with vocabulary for which a conceptual account is most plausible, immediate uses of interjections appear to fail a basic requirement on the postulation of conceptual meaning.
