	Sign (semiotics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Signs are not just words, but also include images, gestures, scents, tastes, textures, sounds — essentially all of the ways in which information can be processed into a codified form and communicated as a message by any sentient, reasoning mind to another.
		According to Saussure (1857-1913), a sign is composed of the signifier, and the signified.
