Is 'with' used correctly in:
Signs are not independent from each other in the real world, with their concurrence being obvious and their giving meaning alongside each other.

Thanks in advance

Here are just a few of the questions I have about your text.

What kind of signs? eg Advertisements? Highway traffic signs?

What do you mean by 'independent from each other'?

Why have you mentioned the real world? Aren't all signs part

You can read about signs at:

Also, does it make more sense if I substitute 'giving meaning' with 'production of meaning'?

How do I write it then?

I want to say that the signs produce their meanings when associated with other signs and have no meaning in themselves.

Then say that.
I can understand that.
