The document discusses the concept of "meaning as action" in language and culture. It explains that meaning arises from the actions and interactions of speakers as they respond to demands in their environment. These actions and interactions occur within specific contexts, including the context of situation regarding the physical place, as well as the context of culture involving beliefs, thoughts, and social structures of a community. Humans perceive and interpret the world based on these contexts and structures of expectations.
