Grasping the links between language and objects - part 2

Here is the second part of my thoughts about how Grasping language works:

Now since words conjure images they can work to create the exact idea when used correctly and understandably that is desired. That’s what successful Novels manage to do. From our general conceptions that we have created about the world and which correspond to words the writer of such novels modifies the reader’s image by first setting the foundations such as that ’there exists a person’ and then moulds this, makes it clearer what is said, perhaps this person is a man and he is a little chubby, also he has goofy teeth and wears glasses, and he stands with a slouch. The list can go on indefinitely to the most minute detail and yet we still manage to link it all together with an effortless ease. That is we can make a synthesis of sensible words and produce automatically an image to a clearness of the reader and writers wishes.
This to is the case when the Novelist writes about actions(verbs). When we see a person or thing changing position we immediately can say that that object is moving. Again the novelist can explain this through words which our mind automatically transcribes as an image or idea. And once more the vividness of the image it’s distinctness is produced by further explaining what the motion is like. The novelist might for instance say that the object moved quickly and if the object is a creature, he might say that its motion was of running. Still we have no trouble imagining such scenarios so long as they are described clearly and with words that we understand.
