* proposes inclusive view of linguistics called general linguistics
(auditory, visual, tactual)
* arguments on pp. 120-1 support notion that there is often a need
to reinforce the perception of the adequacy of a sign. NV would
be one way.

* section on "Communication, Co-operation, and Conflict"; comments
the pos. and neg. uses of communicative skill and knowledge
* p.219 def. of semiotics as = pragmatics - origin, uses, and effects
of signs within the total behavior of the interpreter of signs.
semantics - signification of signs
syntactics - signs in relation to each other
* confusion - at the beginning of book he talks about general linguistics
as overarching linguistics then by 219 is talking about semiotics as
the metalanguage of linguistics.
