Let's talk about: Semiotics

Semiotics consist of 14 terms 


I will give you the terms & definition for each term LET'S GOOOO


The Terms are:


Sign: Signs stand for or represent ideas or things. They represent in 3 different ways Icons,Symbols and Indexical signs.


Icons: resemble  what they represent e.g a painting or a photo


Symbols: only represent something by agreement  e,g a logo or a traffic sign


Indexical signs: indicate something by association like a Fire exit sign. 


NEXT we have: Denotation
                             connotation
                             Myth


Denotation: is when a sign refers to the 'literal' meaning of the signified referent or concept.


Connotation: is when a sign refers to the meanings associated with the signified referent or concept


Myth: is the given idea attached to the signified referent or concept.


I will put the rest on a new post. See you in a beat!!!
