While reading this chapter, I became very intrigued at what the author, Jonathan Culler, had described language as. A lot of the things he pointed out have been my perception on language and what people actually mean, as well. What stood out to me was his mention of the correlation between language & the people who put the words together…the mention that when analyzing any writing it’s very important to understand the background of the piece, like where the person is from, how they view life, asking yourself what is the true meaning behind a particular word or sentence even beyond what it SEEMS to mean on the outside, etc…I think meaning behind language is very important to catch on to, so you can have a better interpretation of the hidden message.
