Summary/Abstract: The actor must be aware that the to use actually means to communicate, which indicates the requirement to take account of meaning that gets the message. Thus, before use, the actor is forced to understand. “... Semiotics is, in principle, the discipline studying everything which can be used to lie. If something can not be used to lie, then it can not be used either to tell the truth: in fact, it can`t be used to say anything” says Umberto Eco. We can extract from this the following observation: semiology study for the actor becomes an indispensable tool to help spreading the truth.
