Commonsense thinking in language cognition

David went to his room. This simply means that the person David walked or traveled by whatever means to his room. This means that literally speaking, David’s body went into the room. But if someone says to you - David’s body went to his room - then you would think that his dead body was taken to his room. This is because of the use of the word ‘body’. THis is means there is an economics principle operating here as regards to commonsense thinking. “Why the word body when only David would have sufficed?” is the rationale behind the interpretation that his dead body was taken to his room. As a continuation to that, “because the word body is used” it has to be primarily that (body) and no other thing in any sense” is the rationale for arriving at the conclusion - "dead ". Suppose children are playing football on a video game connected to a TV. And suppose a person there gets a call asking what are the children doing? Suppose he says “children are playing football”. This would be interpreted as ‘children are playing real football (not TV video game football)’. For understanding that it is video game football, one would need to be told the part “on a TV video game”. So this means that the absence of that part plays a role in the understanding that they are playing real football. Football being referred to as only football means regular, conventional football. Commonsense thinking in language cognition : There is a reason for the presence of each word. There is a reason for the absence of words. Why “body”? And why only “football”? - both these questions have reasons cognitively manifested in the interpretation of the sentences.
