structuralist- nurture. essentialism-nature. semiotics-schemas
lang construcs our view of the world, same word means diff things all over the world.
feminists in the 70s/80s, language is very male centered
exchange of minds, mutual understanding to co-operate 
symbolic signs, word dog doesnt resemble a dog but you visualize a dog
signifier + signified = sign  initial impulse(word, seeing) + in brain(mental concept)
myth-propagate cultural stereotypes, social norms

​
​1- big daddy is flashy and popular, sparkly outfit, bigger movements to get more out of the crowd, more cheering
giant haystacks isnt popular, less over the top movements, gets booed, dressed in browns.
2- commentator reads stats and says nonsense about their actions
3- ref checks if theyre hugging correctly and gets in the way, riles up both the audience and fighters
4- crowd cheers when big daddy gets hits and boos and sounds worried when haystacks is on top
5- its closer to theatre than sport.
