The book explores the nature of language and the specific nature of its relationship with reality, presenting the author's understanding of the concepts of meaning and absurdity as milestones in human recognition of the surrounding world. In doing so, meaning and absurdity are examined within biological, philosophical, linguistic and cultural contexts. The book consists of a preface, an introduction, two chapters, an afterword, a conclusion and a bibliography, which allows for a concise and systematic examination of the functioning of meaning and absurdity within the linguistic system, as well as within the human consciousness as the bearer of this system.
