Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss about the formation of meaning through the association among language, culture and cognition, which is considered inseparable. The meaning of each expression can be built only at the moment of the interaction, and it doesn’t exist before it. Thus, language is a way to this process, in which all kinds of knowledge are organized through interaction and with the projection onto hearer. Therefore, the relation language, culture and cognition is continuously built. The creation of meaning for oneself, for the other and for the world is done by inferential activity, which is demonstrated and exemplified in this text.
