والدلالة قسمان: لفظية وغير لفظية
Signification is divided into verbal and nonverbal forms.
In verbal signification, the sign is a word or vocal expression. Hearing the word “book,” for example, conveys the concept of a book.

The distinction concerns the nature of the sign, not merely whether its meaning can later be described in words.
