"The Sign and Its Context"

"The Sign and Its Context" refers to how signs (symbols, words, images) convey meaning based on their context. A sign alone can have multiple interpretations, but its true meaning often relies on cultural, social, and situational factors. For example, a red light universally means "stop," but its significance can vary depending on whether you're in a car, a traffic system, or a different country. Understanding a sign requires not just recognizing it, but also grasping the surrounding circumstances that shape its significance. This interplay highlights the importance of context in communication and understanding meanings accurately.
