This document provides an overview of semiotics and the theories of Saussure and Peirce. It discusses:
- Saussure's theory that a sign is composed of a signifier and signified, and that meaning comes from the relationship between the two rather than having a direct connection to the object itself.
- Peirce's classification of three types of signs: icons which resemble the object, indexes which are physically connected to the object, and symbols which are arbitrarily related to the object through social convention (such as language).
- Examples of how indexes and icons can be used in art through representational imagery and traces of physical processes.
Graphic ideology: An intro to semiotics
This document discusses concepts related to visual communication and semiotics. It introduces key theorists such as Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce who studied signs and how meaning is derived. Saussure believed a sign is composed of a signifier and signified. Peirce categorized signs as icons, indexes, and symbols. The document also discusses how meaning can be interpreted through denotation and connotation, and how visual language uses techniques like vectors and participants similarly to linguistic grammar and syntax. Textual determinism and how images can be read in dominant, negotiated, or oppositional ways is also covered.

Introduction to semiotics
The document provides an introduction to analyzing media language through semiotics. It discusses key concepts like denotation versus connotation, and signifiers and signifieds. Symbols, written codes, and technical codes are examined across different media formats. Examples are provided to illustrate analyzing the symbolic codes in a movie poster or magazine cover. Gender representations in advertising are also discussed using Goffman's theories. The document aims to teach media language analysis through identifying signs and their meanings at denotative and connotative levels.
What About Semiotics?
Semiotics is a methodology that analyzes communication codes, their implicit meanings and effectiveness in spreading value systems. It helps discover hidden meanings in words, images, symbols in a specific cultural/social context. Semiotics can be applied to any text to understand the communicated meaning through different codes. It represents an essential analysis tool during research phases to understand not just what is said, but also what is not said explicitly. Semiotics is useful for in-depth consumer insights and brand identity/positioning in competitive scenarios.
Semiotics
This document provides an overview of semiotics, including its history, definitions, key figures, and concepts. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and their use or interpretation. It has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy and more recently in the work of Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Pierce, and Roland Barthes. Saussure introduced key concepts like the signifier/signified relationship and the arbitrary nature of linguistic signs. Pierce explored signs in a broader context and classified three types of signs: symbols, icons, and indexes. Barthes studied how signs and images represent culture and ideology, introducing concepts like denotation, connotation, and myth. Semiotics provides tools for analyzing meaning in texts and
Semiotic Analysis of Absolut Ad campaign
The document provides background information on the Absolut vodka brand and its highly successful advertising campaign created by TBWA Advertising that began in 1981. The campaign focused on visual imagery featuring the distinctive Absolut bottle in various settings and themes. It became one of the longest-running and most awarded campaigns in advertising history. The report then analyzes examples of Absolut print ads, examining the symbols and signs used to convey the brand's message through themes like products, objects, cities, art, and holidays.

Visual Semiotics
This document discusses visual semiotics and how images create meaning. It explains that semiotics is the study of signs and how they produce meaning through interaction with viewers. Key aspects of signs discussed include denotation, connotation, signifiers, and signifieds. The document also covers principles of analyzing semiotic systems and types of signs like icons, symbols, and indexes. Additionally, it describes how meaning comes from sign systems or codes. Finally, the document discusses theories of how layout constructs meaning through information value, salience, and framing.
Word Meaning (Semantics, Semantic Features and Prototype)
This document provides an overview of key concepts in semantics, including:
- Entailment and hyponymy relationships between words and sentences. Entailment means one sentence necessarily implies the truth of another. Hyponymy is a hierarchical relationship where a word is a type of another word.
- Other semantic relationships like synonymy, antonymy, complementarity, and meronymy. Synonyms have the same meaning, antonyms have opposite meanings, and complementaries have mutually exclusive meanings. Meronyms refer to part-whole relationships.
- How semantic features can help explain why some sentences seem odd, by looking at the conceptual features words have like [+/- animate].
- Prototype theory
Semiotics
This document discusses semiotics, the study of signs and symbols, and how meaning is constructed based on social, cultural, and historical contexts. It provides several examples to illustrate how signs can have different meanings depending on factors like time period, location, and culture. These include hand gestures like the peace sign, the OK symbol, and two fingers used in different contexts. The document also notes some advantages of semiotics like allowing deeper examination of messages and understanding how communication is shaped by conventions.
The Art of Visual Storytelling
This document discusses the principles of visual storytelling through manipulation of visual components such as space, line, shape, tone, color, movement, and rhythm. It explains how increasing contrast between components creates greater visual intensity, while increasing affinity creates less intensity. Each component is then defined in more detail, outlining characteristics and how they can be manipulated for different dramatic effects in a performance. The document concludes with a suggested creative task applying these principles to create a high and low intensity dance sequence.
Semiotic analysis
This document provides an overview of semiotic analysis and key semiotic concepts. It begins by defining semiotics as the study of signs and sign systems. Some key points made include:
- Semiotics examines how meaning is constructed through signs such as words, images, sounds, gestures and objects.
- Ferdinand de Saussure distinguished between the signifier (form of the sign) and the signified (concept represented).
- Charles Sanders Peirce developed a triadic model of the sign consisting of the representamen (sign vehicle), object (referent), and interpretant (sense made of the sign).
- Signs can function as icons, indexes or symbols depending on their relationship to what they
Narrative Image: The How and Why of Visual Storytelling
Explores the basics of how images communicate. Looks at various types of visual narratives. Presented to the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators at the 2011 national conference in Olympia, WA on July 12, 2011.
What is Semiotic analysis?
Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols in communication. Online semioticians analyze popular and shareable online content to understand themes, messages, and how people interact with and share different types of content. Semiotic analysis can provide insights into unconscious cultural patterns that influence online behavior. It was used in a case study to identify the underlying codes of most shared content, differences in sharing across geographies, and the impact of sharing on new users. Key findings were then used to enhance website content and sharing.

Charles Sanders Peirce
- 1. Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) Élete és munkássága
- 2. Élete Charles Sanders Peirce (Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1839. szeptember 10. – Milford, Pennsylvania, 1914. április 19.) amerikai matematikus és filozófus volt. a modern szemiotika legjelentősebb előfutára. eredetileg földmérő, geodéta volt. 1880 táján fordult a filozófia és ezen belül a logika felé
- 3. Elméletének körvonalai „A jel vagy helyettesítő (representamen) az, ami valamit valaki számára valamely tekintetben vagy minőségben helyettesít. Valakihez szól, tehát az illető személy tudatában megfelelő vagy esetleg fejlettebb jelet hoz létre. Ezt a létrehozott jelet az első jel értelmezőjének nevezem.”
- 4. A szemiotika háromágú tudomány: Tiszta nyelvtan: Logika: Tiszta retorika:
- 5. A jelek trichotómiái Peirce a jeleket három trichotómia segítségével osztotta fel: Az első trichotómiát aszerint írta le, hogy a jel pusztán minőség, ténylegesen fennáll- e vagy általános törvény-e. A második trichotómiát aszerint osztotta fel, hogy milyen a jelet a tárgyához fűző kapcsolat: a jelnek valamely tulajdonsága, a jelet a tárgyához fűző viszony vagy az értelmezővel kapcsolatos viszony.
- 6. A harmadik trichotómia abból indul ki, hogy az értelmező lehetőség, tény vagy érvelés jeleként fogja fel a jeleket.
- 7. Az első trichotómia: Minőségjel Egyszeri jel Törvényjel
- 8. A második trichotómia: Ikon Index Szimbólum
- 9. A harmadik trichotómia: Réma Tétel (propositio) Argumentum
