<p>Communication as a means of establishing social interaction is multimodal. It entails the use of the verbal and the non-verbal means of communication. This suggests that understanding messages involves unravelling the different modes involved in communication. This fact necessitates the investigation of language at different levels and as used in many contexts. Also, the fact that language is connected to the culture of its users makes language investigation in cultural practices particularly interesting. This paper seeks to do a semiotic reading of the items used in Yoruba traditional marriage.  It seeks to unravel the meaning of the elements of culture in traditional marriage ceremony and unravel the meaning of the signs (objects) used in it. Halliday’s meta-functions and Pierces conception of signs are used as the theoretical framework. The paper justifies the assertion that communication is multimodal and is a system of interpreting verbal and non-verbal signs.</p><p> </p
