"Conveyor of meaning" - what does it mean?
Could you help me with the following expression - 'conveyor of meaning'. What does it mean?

Question

Answer

"Signs are potential conveyors of meaning". It's a phrase from one of the linguistic article I've read recently

Answer

I think it means "gist", "gist of a speech"

Answer

It's confusing.
A conveyor of good news (or bad news) is a person who is about to tell another person good (or bad) news.
It's a person who passes on information.
A conveyor of meaning - confusing.
Is it possible to provide the text in which the expression was used?
