Land Meaningfulness: An Epistemological Approaches in the Cognitive Geomorphology
Semantics is one of the new topics in linguistics that have been developed as an applied methodology today.The analysis and interpretation of the Geographical landmarks (that known as space generator)is related to the domain of semantics in Cognitive Geomorphology.When Spirn (1998)wrote "the language of landscape"book,semantics concepts unexpectedly entered in Geographic discussions.In this book, landscapes, Geographical text and its structure are considered as language.She has given us the concept of "Earth meaningfully" as a broader cognitive pattern of what has already been common in Geomorphology. In this method, Geographic landscapes are presented as a text consisting of phenomena, sentences, and paragraphs that define many semantic patterns for their residents.This study was carried out according to the"context analysis" method.The purpose of this study is to compare the differences between the paraphrastic view and thepositivism in Geomorphology.This research by analysis of the works of five influential personalities in philosophy,Experimental Science and Geomorphology the meaning – substance ratio and its contrast were studied with experimental sciences, andthe"Earth meaningfully"was investigated in this analysis.The results of this study showed:- Cognitive Geographical methods are not possible with the conventional approaches in the present semantics, and this method has led to the separation of various domains of this field in our era.- Methodological study of the"Earth meaningfully"brings new horizons of understanding for Geography researchers that are not possible with conventional methods.-The Earth meaningfully teaches us that the democratization of recognition and lack of scientific despotism is the key to solving many of the current problems.
