bewildering

I made the radical decision to take Intro to Modern Culture and Media Pass/Fail yesterday. Here's why:

"Or even when signs are studied from a social viewpoint, only the traits that attach language to the other social institutions -- those that are more or less voluntary -- are emphasized; as a result, the goal is by-passed and the specific characteristics of semiological systems in general and of language in particular are completely ignored."

Try to understand that sentence on first-read.
Anyone who can give me a summary in the comments gets... some trail mix. Because that's what I have in my dorm room.

Love always,
Clara
