Linguistics is the formal study of language. Signals are anything that transmit meaning and can be verbal or nonverbal. If I am at an auction, raise my hand and say 50. The auctioneer decodes my meaning as I wish to raise the current bid to $50 or $50,000,000 depending on the item's going value. All of these little pieces to the puzzle, my actions, my vocalizations, the context are the linguistic signals that allow me to successfully communicate to this other person. In fact, depending on my manner and facial expressions and body language and timbre of voice, I may convey whether or not I am likely to go any higher and thereby scare off other bidders.
