Semiotics or Sign
Language
JOY
Semiotics or Sign Language
Semiotics is the theory and study of signs
and symbols, especially as elements of
language or other systems of
communication.
Linguistics and cultural semiotics investigates
sign systems and the modes of representation
that human use to convey feelings, thoughts,
ideas, and ideologies.
JOY
SEMIOTICS
▪ Semiotics is derived from the Greek word “semeiotikos” , which
means an observant of signs.
▪ Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols. It is how signs and
symbols are used to communicate and develop interpretations.
▪ Semiotics tries to know how the meaning of a text, a behavior
or an object builds itself. It tries to describe the organization of
the meaning.
JOY
SIGNS AND SYMBOLS

Signs is a symbol which is
understood to refer to
something other than

JOY
Symbols

represents, stands for or
suggest an idea or visual
images
Practice of Semiotics and History
A semiotician is a person studies or
practices semiotics, deals with
symbols. These may be in a form of
image, pattern and motion and convey
meaning.
JOY
Semiotics was founded by
a Swiss linguist,
Ferdinand de Saussure
and refers to this as “ the
life of signs within
society”.
JOY
It is also a key into the evolution of human
conciousness. English philosopher John
Locke (1632-1704) tied the advancement of
intelligence in three steps.

The ability to
communicate these

❑ He said that signs work only if there is an
intelligence capable of learning from
experience.
❑ Pierce’s conception of semiotics was
triadic; sign, meaning, and interpreting.
Charles Sanders Pierce
(1839-1914)
SHYNIE
Sign Language
Sign language makes use of the hands,
facial expression and other gestures
usually used by deaf of the hearingimpaired individuals. However , sign
language may also be very helpful for
individuals with intellectual and physical
disabilities especially those with
communication problems like autism and
apraxia of speech.
SHYNIE
What is going on around us are full with signs
and symbols. The sign is usually as important
for us to know as the sign itself in order to
interpret its meaning. Semiotics is the key
tool to ensure that intended meanings (of for
instance a piece of communication or a new
product) are unambiguously understood by
the person on the receiving end.
