Bibliography : (pages 96-107)
"This study attempts top employ semiotics in the understanding of the Hispanization or Christianization of the natives. Semiotics is a theory of sign. A sign stands for something. The meaning of a sign is derivable from a particular culture. Culture determines the meaning/s of a sign.
This study provides a theoretical explanation of cultural contact between the Spaniards and the natives. This study is basically a response to the claim that the natives understood the Catholic faith and that conversion actually took place among the natives." --Introduction
