The Signs of Language

The signs of language include various ways people communicate meanings beyond spoken words. These signs encompass gestures, facial expressions, body posture, and eye contact, which help convey emotions and intentions. Non-verbal cues like a smile or shrug can complement or sometimes replace spoken language. Additionally, written symbols, signs, and visual images serve as language signs, allowing communication across different contexts and languages. Recognizing these signs helps us understand what others are expressing and enhances effective, meaningful interaction.
