Semiotic Linguistic Stuff

As I try to wade through some of Derrida, I begin to wonder if we might not be going at this language thing from the wrong end (no suggested pun). Observing my 2 year old granddaughter Maeve communicate, I appreciate the simplicity of getting meaning across: "M'poop in da pot," speaks volumes, especially when expressed proudly via telephone. Someone might comment that I don't get it, but I fully discern the grammar, logic, and rhetoric of that sentence; the meaning is crystal clear.
