Verbal Icon
摘要
From the previous chapters, we know that human beings have always been pursuing universal communication, but have ultimately failed to achieve a “universal language”, and this may be explained, in addition to the lack of technology and the obstacles of real life, by the impulse of the sign itself to create “meaning”. Of course, it may be a demonstrable proposition, that is, when there is no homogeneity between signs, there will be an impulse for interpretation and signification between them. The impulse initiator of interpretation here is not the inanimate sign itself, but the organism—the human being that creates and uses the sign.
