Articulation and semantic production according to communication contexts An interactive communication study with the artificial intelligence program (ChatGPT)

Abstract

This research attempts to shed light on the process of producing meaning according to the contexts of communication by interpreting texts based on the relationship between word and meaning. Meaning is the concept or mental content carried by the word, and through the relationship between them, meaning can be produced. Semantics is the relationship between the word and its meaning, i.e., what the word signifies within a specific context. Hence, "meaning production" focuses on creating or generating mental content. "Semantic production" refers to the generation of a semantic relationship between a word and its meaning within a given context. Text and discourse do not directly produce meaning; rather, they produce "semantic"—that is, they produce linguistic signals and relationships that lead to multiple understandings and different interpretations. Meaning is not ready-made but is constructed through semantic content. This idea is applied in a series of conversations with artificial intelligence programs to determine the suitability of these programs for producing semantic content.
