Eliminating indeterminacy: Towards linguistic aspects of anthropogenesis
Sergej Griniewicz (Grinev),
University of Bialystok, Poland
An anthropolinguistic approach to viewing indeterminacy is proposed, according to which indeterminacy is viewed as a category that changes from primordial vagueness of words at the early stage of evolution of human mentality to later ambiguity and concept fuzziness.
Keywords: anthropolinguistics approach, evolution of (human) mentality, indeterminacy, semantic syncretism
