When the reality of real human experience is the mechanism of Semiotic Language, context can be a statement, question or a role the individual plays for the experience of reality, from the perspective of a particular role or character. If the individual asks, "Can spiritual entities do mischief or harm?", and one drives onto the freeway, and has a flat tire on a freeway bridge, and nearly gets someone killed, then this event could be considered as an answer to the question. If the impetus was a statement such as these entities cannot bother me, then the flat tire incident can be considered as a comment on the statement. If the context is the individual playing the role of freeway safety inspector, then the event can be like a first hand account of the dangers of freeway driving.

     
The vocabulary of Semiotic Language consists in unusual and not ordinary events which stand out as particular from what would ordinarily be the content of the circumstance. If one sees a cat with a twitching tale on top of the neighbor's brick chimney, even though one has never seen such an event in one's life before, without a context it is just an unusual event and nothing more. However if one has been trying to decide if one should get a cat for a pet, then this event may be considered as relevant to the problem.

Semiotic vocabulary is also the timing of events, so as to correspond to thought, words and deeds in an immediate and seemingly connected way as comment. This timing is what is ordinarily known as Synchronicity. The emphasis of one's statement was punctuated when the lights suddenly went out.
