Dr. S.R. Ranganathan promulgated three planes of work in his classification theory Verbal plane is one of them. Every one have to accept the idea that natural language has as one of its primary attributes, a method of classification. The lexical meaning (obhidha), and the contextual meaning (according to denotative, implicational and suggestive potentiality obeying the compatibility, expectancy, and proximity) has helped to formulate the canons of verbal plane. Classification is closely linked with language and may be defined as a means by which the context of information sources is made accessible within established semantic contexts.

Abstract


Dr. S.R. Ranganathan promulgated three planes of work in his classification theory Verbal plane is one of them. Every one have to accept the idea that natural language has as one of its primary attributes, a method of classification. The lexical meaning (obhidha), and the contextual meaning (according to denotative, implicational and suggestive potentiality obeying the compatibility, expectancy, and proximity) has helped to formulate the canons of verbal plane. Classification is closely linked with language and may be defined as a means by which the context of information sources is made accessible within established semantic contexts.
