vocal auditory channel
when a person stands in the middle of a room, he can be heard by everyone, assuming that he is speaking loudly enough and can be perceived in limited directions
broadcast transmission and directional reception
speech waveforms fade rapidly which is why the human language signal does not persist over time and may be possible when audio recorded or video recording or writing the message is done
rapid fading (transitoriness)
the speaker can receive and send the same language signal.
interchangeability
unlike traffic signs which cannot monitor its function, we can hear ourselves while we speak
total feedback
each organ has its own specific function in speech.
specialization
for every signal there is a corresponding meaning
semanticity
Human language is arbitrary, meaning, there is no necessary connection to the form and the thing assigned to.
arbitrariness
basic speech units can be categorized.
There is no gradual continuous shading from one sound to another in the linguistics system, although there may be a continuum in the real physical world.
discreteness
sometimes we speak about things in the past or future, and our language allows us to do so.
displacement
We can create never-before- heard utterances.

For one to understand signs, there must be intelligence capable enough to learn from experience. His concept of semiotics was triadic: sign, meaning, and interpreter.
charles sanders pierce
