Summary/Abstract: In our reality we distinguish two forms of communication-verbal and non-verbal. But in linguistic communication it is possible to separate a single linguistic communication act which is presented in the simplified model and discussed in the text. In the article the phenomenon called signs, codes and subcodes were defined. The traditional concept of sign according to Peirce and the classification of signs based on functions and structure by Milewski were presented. Furthermore four basic types of intentional modality of Grzegorczykowa were described. In the end it was considered that the education process was a specific communication one. The basic way to develop child’s sign activity is fun, however during different kinds of education kids get to know not only diversified linguistic signs but also determined parts of reality-children get to know the world.
