“Shannon’s original 1948 diagram modified with an oval superimposed over the limits of Shannon’s actual research. Shannon never left the confines of this oval to address the essence of meaningful communication. Any theory of Instruction would need to extend outside of the oval to quantify the ideal function and the indirect “meaning” of any message” (Abel and Trevors).
Speech Circuit of Ferdinand Saussure (1857 – 1913)"A sign is the basic unit of language (a given language at a given time). Every language is a complete system of signs. Parole (the speech of an individual) is an external manifestation of language."
