What factors effect how we interpret signs?

semiotics- reading signs

the factors that effect how we interpret signs could be something that has previously happened and effects on how u see the other person.

For example, a student that was recently kicked out of the lesson, enters the class with his jacket still on. Now because this particular student was sent out last lesson this action of him entering with his jacket still on gives the impression that he wants to be somewhere else when really he is gonna take it off when he sits down, or maybe he is unwell and is cold.

This is because of the factors of what happened in the previous

And

the word and can change meaning depending on how u say it.

If you were in a situation where someone was telling you “oh, you know if u do that he is gonna shout at you” when you reply “and?” It implys that you don’t care if he shouts and your asking if that’s all he is gonna do.

It was a normal day when I was snowboarding with the school in Italy?. It was only the second day so I wasn’t that good, I was very unstable and I was often falling over.

Today I was trying to stop on my toes while going really fast and I buckled, this isn’t the first time I have fell over, so I got up and thought nothing of it and went back to the top of the slope.

It wasn’t until people started screaming and pointing at me that I realised my hand was hanging off my wrist. Like a needle hanging from a thread, my hand was hanging off my wrist with blood pouring out of it. As soon as what happened had sunk in, I instantly bellowed out ” what the heck has happened ?” and just sat down in the corner crying?.

I don’t know why I’m upset; it doesn’t hurt. Out of no where a skier ⛷ came and knocked my hand, apologised straight away, but my whole hand came flying off my arm and started sliding down the slope ??.

? Angry that my hand has gone but not in pain ?,the blood stopped pouring out and then some guy came walking up the slopes with my severed hand inside a pickle jar and said “go to a hospital ? and they will re -attach it , ask for Mr Reeves he will do it for you.” Before I could say thank you, he disappeared quicker than you could say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

I soon woke up at the top of the slope with a jar that said pickles on it, but there was no pickles . IT WAS MY HAND?! Wait, u remember that guy, yeah he told me to go hospital to ask for Mr Reeves. I just woke up though, oh well let’s go hospital.
