Semiotic Domains

I have never really stopped to think about the semiotic domains that I am apart of in my life until the lecture yesterday in class. Although some of these semiotic domains could be grouped together I have relieved that many of the semiotic domains in my own life can differ greatly from one another. My favorite sport to play is softball, which I play almost all year playing and have become very active in devoting much of my time too. Softball is a semiotic domain that is active and makes a person get up and move around. On the other hand, I love to read which is a much different semiotic domain than softball. Unlike the example that was given in class about reading a cooking magazine and being active while reading it I do not like to be physically active when I read. When I read it is more of a time to lay down and relax with my feet up on the couch. So as I was listening to the class lecture yesterday I realized that it is true that a person may be part of a large number of semiotic domains that may have very little or nothing to do with one another!
