Match List I with List II Choose the correct answer from the options given below:List I
Communication concept List II
DescriptionA. Referents I. It structures human experiences B. Constructs II. Experience in relation to objects C. Symbol III. Gesture representing an agreed upon phenomenon D. Language IV. Objects of orientation
A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I
Concept: This matches basic communication concepts with their descriptions. Work out each pairing by definition.
Matching working:
• Referents → Objects of orientation. Referents are the actual objects or things towards which our attention/orientation is directed.
• Constructs → Experience in relation to objects. Constructs are the mental organisations we build from our experience concerning those objects.
• Symbol → Gesture representing an agreed-upon phenomenon. A symbol is a sign or gesture that, by social agreement, stands for a phenomenon.
• Language → It structures human experiences. Language is the system that organises and structures human experience and thought.
Conclusion: Referents-Objects of orientation, Constructs-Experience in relation to objects, Symbol-Gesture representing an agreed phenomenon, Language-Structures human experiences. This corresponds to the pairing A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I.
Why the others are wrong: Any combination that ties Referents to 'structures human experiences' or Language to 'objects of orientation' misplaces the definitions, because language (not referents) organises experience, and referents (not language) are the objects of orientation.
Takeaway: Referents = orientation objects; Constructs = experience of objects; Symbol = agreed gesture; Language = structures experience.
Correct answer: A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I
