There are three principal ways that a sign can denote its objects. These are usually described as kinds, species, or types of signs, but it is important to recognize that these are not ontological species, that is, they are not mutually exclusive features of description, since the same thing can be a sign in several different ways.Beginning very roughly, the three main ways of being a sign can be

Young children who are learning to speak a new language (or indeed their native language) are often referred to as ‘sponges’ because their ability to learn through play and the world around them seems to be easy. We assume children are resilient and will fit in with anything, often because it suits us. As parents we should remember that not all children will find it as easy as we think to learn a

A verb may be followed by an object that completes the verb's meaning. Two kinds of objects follow verbs: direct objects and indirect objects. To determine if a verb has a direct object, isolate the verb and make it into a question by placing "whom?" or "what?" after it.
