Abstract :
I suggested that all experience can be construed as meaning organized into networks of classes. This includes our experience of the abstract relation of classification-the relation of being a member of a class. Class-membership is itself construed as a class in the network of classes; more specifically, it is construed by the intersection of `intensive´ and `ascriptive´ in the system network. In conclusion, I identify one of the ways my discussion has been restricted: I have focused an language as a resource for construing experience since the point of departure was Zadeh´s remarks about human thought. `Construing experience´ is one of the three generalized functions of language the ideational function. The other two are the interpersonal and textual functions, and both of these are also inherently fuzzy
