Aural and written
communication and semiotic
The
deciphered material clearly brings to mind that the ancient Macedonians
had a developed degree of education, they had their own teachers and schools
philosophies, higher and lower sciences, literate administration etc.
that is everything that is necessary to perform oral and written communication
in an organised matriarchal and patriarchal society. From this it is clear
and it isnt odd that they, the Macedonians had an excellent knowledge
of the language and not only of phonetics, but of morphology and syntax
too. In other words they, the Macedonians were knowledged not only in
the sound system but as well in the forms, their changes and meaning and
also they knew about the sentence and its parts, because eleven
types of words were distinguished: Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, numbers,
verbs, prepositions, adverbs, conjunctions, interjection; particles and
modal words which can be differentiated in groups of changeable and non
changeable words. Change is present in substantives, pronouns, adjectives,
numbers and verbs and based on change of the form according to gender,
number, article, tense, person, mode and comparison. They knew about the
way of building words and the different shades of meaning of separate
word groups. They knew what is a root, a suffix and prefix that is, they
knew of the smallest parts from which the word was composed, which were
the carriers of certain meaning that is, they knew what was word composition
and how nouns and adjectives were derived etc.; the ancient macedonians
knew what a normative pronunciation is which means to a greater extent
a normative and standard language which on its part contributed
for the multi macedonian millennium lingual experience to be able to surpass
the present day borders of Macedonia and to become the possession of all
the previous macedonian tribes, who present day civilisation recognises
as slav people or the neighbours of the slav nations.

From
a strictly semiotic characteristic of the language in the sense of Morris
foundations to the theory of signs, it could be constituted that the pre
historic macedonian language, at its that time level in relation
to the wealth of its structural complexity, encorporateness of things
which marked and aims which it suited represents a three dimensional whole,
that is, it has a syntactic, semantic and pragmatic dimension. Nevertheless,
as a natural and rich language it had a universal feature, because with
it everything could be represented and this often made it ambiguous and
multi meaning in various decoded and deciphered inscriptions (texts),
or, a system of bilaterally connected signs as a whole semiotic feature,
represents any inter subjective sum of a bearer of signs whose use is
determinedly the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic rules.
