This is the idea that once you have a multilayered embedded system established,
aka a "symbolic system", then the system itself becomes a factor in
restructuring the material basis, e.g. sign languages.
<<<<<
Are you referring here to codes and contact pidgins like Signed English,
which map words of a spoken language to words of a signed language using an
approximation or simplification of the spoken language's syntax. Or are you
referring to sign LANGUAGES, such as ASL? If so, please elaborate.
