. . Usually, even where language is defined as " a reduced form of an act, " it is not recognized that it becomes by that very fact the carrier of the idea. It is usually spoken of as if being a survival of past action, and, useless as present action, it were conveniently Vol. I, p. 15. 42 THEORIES OF KNOWLEDGE IN LOCKE'S ESSAY pressed into service as " a sign of ideas. " But the reason it can serve j as the sign of an idea, as the carrier of meaning, is just because the i meaning is the value ...of the whole, of which the sign is the reduced form. The fact that in even a majority of particular cases now no qualitative similarity between the sign and the meaning directly appears is not against, but rather for, the principle. It means that, in its function as a sign, the less qualitative value an act has in itself, the better sign it is. In so far as it is of interest in itself, it fails to point away from itself, which is just the business of a sign. The arbitrary character of language means, therefore, that these reduced forms have been per- fected in their function as signs by dropping out their value in them- selves.
