I'm no linguistics philosopher, but I find it hard to imagine any sequence
of symbols can convey information to someone who has no prior knowledge that
enables them to attach meaning to the symbols, unless perhaps the symbols
are visual representations of objects that both the sender and receiver are
familiar with.
