A system of meaning is a set of relationships between one group of variables (such as words, or physical symbols) and the meanings which are attached to them. Because meaning systems involve relationships which are not often essential or universal, different human societies will often agree on '''different''' relation ships and meanings. Systems of meanings are not something that every child is born with, it is taught. This means that if learning is an essential characteristic or culture then teaching is just as crucial. | A system of meaning is a set of relationships between one group of variables (such as words, or physical symbols) and the meanings which are attached to them.
