Note, there is a lot more to many of these terms than a simple definition, and you will be asked questions designed to make sure you understand them. This list convers 95+% of what will be on the exam. Ultimately, you are responsible for anything in the textbook and/or discussed in class. From the notes (not in the book): iconic sign, indexical sign, semantic noise, physical noise, psychological noise, physiological noise, contexts of communication (interpersonal, small group, organizational, public/rhetorical, mass/mediated, intercultural), ethics vs. morals.
