Charles W. Morris

Charles W. Morris was a philosopher and semiotician known for his work on how signs and symbols communicate meaning. He studied how language, gestures, and representations function in society, shaping our understanding and interactions. Morris proposed that signs operate through three interconnected aspects: the physical form (like words or signals), the interpretive process (how people understand them), and the meaning conveyed. His insights help explain how communication works, influencing fields like linguistics, philosophy, and communication studies. Overall, Morris contributed to understanding the flow of information and the role of signs in human interaction.
