Default Communicative meaning

It has been said that certain actions are intrinsically endowed with a communicative meaning (see below for a definition). Would you say that is true and can apply to certain sentences, utterances and expressions?

Definition (in the linguistic sense of the word): communicative meaning, i.e. the meaning of an utterance as a linguistic activity: e.g. requesting, ordering, asserting etc..
