Abstract
Human beings are meaning makers, putting language and other
semiotic systems to work in the various contexts of daily life- to
entertain, to retell experiences, to amuse, to build relationships, to
complete tasks, to inform, to explore, to teach, to warn, to sell, to form
partnerships, to collaborate-inter alia. Most humans, most of the time, are
not conscious of what they do with language, what they achieve lhrough
language, how they use language, perhaps reflecting the way they
developed as social beings.
