Words are self evident symbols.
1. A word is a symbol that represents something in the outside world
2. When someone reads a word, they recognize that the symbol signifies something
3. The meaning, what is signified, is self evident if it is understood correctly, the truth value of the word is not self evident
It is ok to appeal to a common understanding of the word word, because it is uncontroversial.
