About Me
- Minette
- Saussure describes semiotics a, "a science which studies the life of signs at the heart of social life," which teaches "what signs consist of and what laws govern them." -- Different media and genres provide different frameworks for representing experience, facilitating some forms of expression and inhibiting others. … the more frequently and fluently a medium is used, the more “transparent” or “invisible” to its users it tends to become. For most routine purposes, awareness of a medium may hamper its effectiveness as a means to an end. Indeed, it is typically when the medium acquires transparency that its potential to fulfill its primary function is greatest.

How does the repetition of the word either clarify or jumble the meaning of the word? Does the fact that it is found so many times in a row make it seem odd and therefore not a word anymore? After seeing the word so many times, it seems to no longer be a word and even the three letters begin to look more like an image than components of a language. Yet "the" is probably the most common word in the English language.
