In the following essay, the notion and characteristics of images will be explored in depth. To achieve this goal, the contiguities that they reveal with verbal language and that are indispensable for representing its content through symbolic form will be emphasized. To this end, we will try to highlight the inevitable harmony that characterizes these two cognitive and communicative tools (images and language), to the extent that even knowledge through the sight of what surrounds us implies an operation of "symbolic" conversion into a format culturally compatible with our linguistic/cognitive conformation. This conversion, in addition to allowing us to transmute images into words, also opens a door to the inverse activity, that is, the possibility of "mirroring" language in "reality".

Abstract
In the following essay, the notion and characteristics of images will be explored in depth. To achieve this goal, the contiguities that they reveal with verbal language and that are indispensable for representing its content through symbolic form will be emphasized. To this end, we will try to highlight the inevitable harmony that characterizes these two cognitive and communicative tools (images and language), to the extent that even knowledge through the sight of what surrounds us implies an operation of "symbolic" conversion into a format culturally compatible with our linguistic/cognitive conformation. This conversion, in addition to allowing us to transmute images into words, also opens a door to the inverse activity, that is, the possibility of "mirroring" language in "reality".I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
