| In many societies, "[m]eaning is derived not from the place of the sound sign in relation to other sound signs within the communicational system. It originates from outside the system, from the association of the sound with a sound in the environment that it mimics." |

| Adapting Foucault's author function, "one might say that the listener is not simply the recipient of an indefinite number of significations that fill his or her hearing, nor does he or she come after the work. Rather, the listener is a function that fixes these meanings with the goal of circumscribing and prescribing the auditory ways in which individuals acknowledge themselves as subjects." |

| "Hence only Dasein can can be meaningful or meaningless. That is to say, its own Being and the entities disclosed within its Being can be appropriated in understanding, or can remain relegated to non-understanding [...] all entities whose kind of Being is of a character other than Dasein's must be conceived of as unmeaning, essentially devoid of any meaning at all [...] And only that which is unmeaning can be absurd." |

| "Sounds, whether associated with cochlear vibrations or not, are always in the first instance meaningful sounds." |
| Riddoch provides a fourth definition of sounds "as first and foremost meaningful, worldly phenomena." |
| "The fact that the sounds we hearken to are already meaningful would indicate that the conceptual in sound is not merely an afterthought, an artistic abstraction, or a subjective, psychological construction. The meaningfulness of what we hear is a fundamental aspect of the sounds themselves as we encounter them in the first instance." |

| Discussing Merleau-Ponty's and Gibson's work in the context of the doctrine of the materiality of meaning. That is, meaning, or significance, is to be found, or is something that exists, out in the world where that world is external to self. Thus, Gibson's affordances are things already in the world and, using Merleau-Ponty's ideas, significance is already found in the world through our most basic encounters with it. |
