This document discusses different linguistic mechanisms for conveying meaning, including morphology, sound symbolism, syntax, lexical meaning, and intonation. Morphology refers to the structure of words, which carry meaning. Sound symbolism is a non-arbitrary connection between sounds and meanings, where words sound like what they mean. Syntax uses clauses to communicate events and phrases to communicate objects. Intonation, or varying pitch in pronunciation, can also express nuances of meaning.

7. Phonology
Morphology
Sound Symbolism
A non arbitrary between sound and meaning or words that sound like
what they mean.
Morphology refers to words structure. Words are the “carriers” of
meaning par excellence. To indicate meaning, we used words.

8. That is what most people understand by the notion of “word”. This is
probably the hardest part of all, since we can express virtually anything with
a word.
Clauses and phrases are probably the most basic syntactic structures, the
former are used to communicate events and the latter, objects.
Lexical meaning
Syntax
A big Remnant
When speaking about phonology, we skipped an important linguistic
mechanism to convey meaning: intonation. By varying the pitch of the way we
pronounce, we can no doubt express nuances of meaning.
