INTRODUCTION:
THEORY
OF
SEMIOTICS.
What is Semiotics?
SAUSSUREAN AND PIERCEAN THEORY
According to Saussure, the sign itself
has two main components
Which called Signifier and signified.
SIGNIFIER — The form of a sign. The form might be a sound,
a word, a photograph, a facial expression, etc.
SIGNIFIED — The concept or object that’s represented. The
concept or object might be an actual representation.
Charles Sanders, argued that
sign has tree sides; representamen
object, and interpretant.
SEMIOTICS
WHAT IS SEMIOTICS?
SEMIOTICS, also known as semiotic
studies or semiology, is the study of signs
and symbols and how they are used to
convey meaning. The basic idea behind
semiotics is that everything we encounter
in the world around us is a sign that
conveys meaning. A sign is anything that
stands for or represents something else.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE OBJECTS:
1
ICON
An icon is a symbol or pattern that
physical resembles or resembles
what it's "stand for". Icon meant as a
direct imitation of object or concept.
Icons are often used in branding, logos,
and user interfaces.
EXAMPLE:
Lock
A stylized picture of an apple may represent a logo,
related a phone Software of its operating system
Android rather than the fruit itself.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE OBJECTS:
2
INDEX
An index is a sign that shows
evidence, related to the reference to
a specific direct concept or object
being represented.
EXAMPLES:
1. A picture of an apple represents the fruit itself.
2 .The SIGNIFIER is a smoke which lead to the
SIGNIFIED being a fire.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE OBJECTS:

SYMBOLS
An symbols is something that can
symbolize and represent abstract,
concepts, emotions, notions, ideas
and things that has an arbitrary or
conventional relationship with
what it represents.
