Structuralism is the name that is given to a wide range of discourses that study underlying structures of signification. Signification occurs wherever there is a meaningful event or in the practice of some meaningful action. Structuralism first comes to prominence as a specific discourse with the work of a Swiss linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure, who developed a branch of linguistics called "Structural Linguistics." Saussure died before he was able to publish his material but his material came to us by his students. The theory was still at a developmental stage then--and has remained in a developmental stage ever after.
What is iconicity and what makes it a significant part of linguisticsssuser9e60d6
Iconicity refers to the degree to which a symbol or representation resembles the object or concept it signifies. In other words, it's the extent to which the form of a symbol reflects its meaning. For example, a drawing of a heart representing love is considered iconic because the shape of the heart resembles the organ associated with emotions and affection.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. • The main purpose of this presentation is to learn which are
the three kinds of signs in linguistics, which are:
Iconic signs
Indexical signs
Symbolic signs
• We will also learn their definitions, and how to decipher each one.
3. Definition: An action, gesture or symbol, that is regularly
associated with a particular concept.
Nevin Leder mentions in his text Introduction To Linguistics that “the term “sign” has
multiple meanings, and linguistic signs are quite different from other kinds of signs
in ways that are important for our understanding of language. We all understand
that a sign of any kind is something that points to or “stands in” for something else.
In technical language we say signs represent the objects they stand for” (2012)
4. Definition: Determined by chance, whim, or impulse,
and not by necessity, reason, or principle.
“Linguists have surveyed the words of the world’s languages and have discovered
conclusively, that nearly all the words in all languages are arbitrarily related to the
concepts they represent” (Leder, 2012)
5. Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) was the man
responsable in devising the three-way división of
signs widely recognized in linguistics as Iconic,
Indexical and Symbolic.
6. -Iconic signs are intended to resemble what it represents. It
does not have to be very accurate representations of what it
represents. Examples of iconic signs include:
• Certain road signs such as a sign with an S curve on it with the
intended meaning “road curves ahead”.
• Signs with a trash can drawn, indicating a trash can is available there.
• Onomatopoeic words such as words for the noises animals make
(Meow, Kikiriki! Woof! etc.), or words for loud noises, such as “Blam!”
for the sound of a gun.
-Truly iconic signs are the least common of the three.
7. Signs that are non-arbitrarily associated
with that they represent.
-Indexical signs are signs that acquire their function through a causal
connection with what they signify, containing an indirect connection
with what it represents, and what it signifies. Examples of Indexical
signs are:
• A road sign of a knife and fork that tells a driver there is a restaurant ahead.
• A road sign depicting a bed, indicating there is a hotel ahead.
• A sign showing a toothbrush outside of a building, indicating that there is a
• dentist there.
• A sign at the beach showing a shark fin surfacing out of a ripple of water,
meaning that the beach is dangerous because it may contain sharks.
-Indexical signs are the second most common kind of sign.
8. -Symbolic signs are arbitrarily related to what they represent, like
most words in all language, which means, there is no logical or natural
connection between most words and the concept they represent.
Example of a Symbolic sign would be:
• the word for love is “amor” in Spanish, “agape,” “philia,” or “eros” in Greek
(depending on what kind of love), “liebe” in German, and there are thousands of
other words for “love” in other languages.
-Given that all of these words express the concept equally well, and
the same is true for nearly all other words, with the exceptions noted
above, linguists conclude that the relationship between words and
concepts in natural languages is usually arbitrary.
9. -A Hybrid sign is a special kind of sing that contains elements of
more than one type of sign. Example:
• A sign containing an image of a tooth, and under that has the words
“Dentist” would be a hybrid because it has a picture of a tooth, meaning
it has indexical features, an indirect relationship to a dentist, and it is also
symbolic because it contains the word dentist which is arbitrary to the
concept of a dentist, meaning that the only way to know what the word
“dentist” means is if we learn it manually.
10. As you now have learned, there exist a three-way division
between signs, dividing them into three categories which are:
Indexical, Iconic and Symbolic. On special occasions, a sign
might also be hybrid, containing two or more elements of
types of signs. We have signs surrounding us all the time: on
the road, on the T.V., in the internet, on a product, on a sign at
a local shop, etc… With this knowledge, you can now be able
to decipher what kind of sign you are looking at, and what is it
trying to accomplish.
