DO
WORDS MEAN ANYTHING, EVER? LANGUAGE IS A CULTURAL PRODUCT; THE SPEAKER IS
SITUATED AT THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE.
CREATION, INTERPRETATION, AND JUDGEMENT OF LANGUAGE IS SOCIALLY CONTEXTUALIZED–THE
INFLUENCE OF SYNTAX, GRAMMAR, ETYMOLOGY, MORPHOLOGY ON COMMUNICATION IS
NEGLIGIBLE. UTTERANCES IS AN EXPLORATION OF THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN SEMANTICS
AND PRAGMATICS IN SOCIAL BEHAVIOR, AS CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY MANIPULATED
BY THE SPEAKER AND AUDIENCE: THE DESIGNER AND VIEWER.
