Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that in attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. While less adaptable to the codification of words, signs contain greater meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a bather pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures waving and handshaking also communicate certain culture messages. 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Signs and signals and symbols B. Gesture C. Communication D. Speech 2.

It may be concluded from this passage _________ A. signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication. B. symbols are very easy to define and interpret. C. only some cultures have signals, signs, and symbols. D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture. The End. 6 .
