Abstract

According to Nelson Goodman in "Languages of Art" (1968), art has a linguistic function that is syntactically and semantically dense. Umberto Eco (1991) understands that symbols are under the control of their era (secularized) and that control relations are socially established. B. F. Skinner, in "Verbal Behavior" (1957), analyzes verbal discourse in its operational capacities, examining how words act upon the world and their consequences.
Linguistic action is determined by the functional relation established between the speaker and the listener, as defined by the verbal community. Similarly, we establish that artistic action is a functional relation between the image and the viewer, within the terms established by society.
In this work, we conduct a functional analysis of the "Code of Hammurabi" (Louvre Museum). We attempt to identify descriptive, command, concept-modulating, and concept-expanding functional relations based on verbal behavior.
