Document Summary

System of signs communicate meaning & allows for understanding of the world. Used instead of / in combo with verbal communication. -> can"t see them but can tell things from voice! Not always right tho :p but we still have an ideas b/c of experiences. Language in relation to other aspects of semiotics. Ex: urdu - shake for yes / europe - different # of kisses / etc. We always talk in relation to our body for time/space. But - need to look at face and whole body too!
