The meaning of things come from recognition of the ideas they instantiate or some correspondence with those ideas.

This video is fairly long, but the short of it is that they track the learning of a word through association. I realize that there are philosophical objections to empiricism, but doesn't this provide an alternative explanation of how meaning is developed, how words acquire meaning, by learning?
