What is Semiotics?

[@jimibartlett]

Damn, it's rare to find a video so straight to the point! Thank you for hitting the mark in a succinct fashion.

[@kwakuamprako]

This is probably one of the most effective helpful videos I have watched in my life. Thank you!

I had to slow down the playback speed as my brain doesn’t absorb as fast as she talks lol *sigh* However this was an excellent explanation. Thank you!

[@atheajadesabinovictoria3029]

lol my professor really gave a 40-page reading material for semiotic landscapes and this video was the only thing that helped me understand it. thanks so much.

[@hotaruishere2133]

I did a field study of semiotics for my final project in my Linguistic Anthropology class. It was so fun ☺️

[@simonbelov7420]

hi, question to the person who made a research on this topic: could please explain the idea of the art "this is not a pipe"? bc we see the picture/symbol of the pipe but the label on it is opposite, so it confuses me a lot

[@letiesperanza162]

​@@simonbelov7420 i'm not the one you were referring to with your question but to me, the answer is very simple. the picture is labeled "not a pipe" because the picture is a drawing of it, a symbol, it's not actually a real pipe but a representation of it in a drawing.

[@spacegeek6166]

Imma take this as my interdisciplinary course Lets see how it goes....

[@chriskenedy1305]

Best quick and dirty of semiotics I've found. Great job!

[@whizzardblizzard5696]

That 3 line sign is an iconic repressentation of a HAMBURGER all along? LMAOOOO!!!! I wouldn’t have known

[@danhanqvist4237]

I've always read it as a menu with lines for various items.... I suppose a hamburger is not the first to come to mind as food or anything to do with a menu in my experience.......

[@misfit8613]

Very interesting, clear, definite and cool to watch.

[@shauuuuun]

MashaAllah this is a great help to understand. Thank you for making this 🥰

[@deadman746]

Excellent and admirably laconic. I learned about Saussurean semiotics thanks to the Appalachian Prison Book Project, but I did not hear about Pierce until yesterday at the federal halfway house.

[@sebbyapudo7357]

This video is very incisive! Thanks.

[@courtney_timmins]

I'm gonna have to watch this a couple times...ARGGG WHY CAN I NEVER UNDERSTAND SEMIOTICS.

[@danhanqvist4237]

Semiotics seems to have a problem with communication. Maybe a course in semiotics would help...?

[@aggrorulz]

I do get the same feeling sometimes. I believe that the reason for this is that everything we interpret we do using spoken language. At times, spoken language fails to efficiently describe the complexity of whatever there is to describe. It's sometimes not your fault, but instead the fault of the system we use to comprehend things. As a music teacher I sometimes struggle to depict music expression to students. This video is great btw!

[@danhanqvist4237]

@@aggrorulz I don't think it's an issue of apprehension but of expresseion. Susanne Langer had a lot to say about it -- she uses many examples from music. Read her!

[@aggrorulz]

@@danhanqvist4237 Yes, I did read Susanne Langer and am aware of her viewpoints. It is however an assertion of philosophers and aestheticians that among all - music is the most abstract art and therefore imposes extra complexity in order to be precisely interpreted.

[@benediktalim4444]

Thanks for upload this video. Its help me to understand about Semiotics. But, i`m confused differences between signifier and signified, can you make the examples (by video)?

[@papitetos]

I can share my understanding - Signifier is the sign itself. A sign can be a picture, a verbal indication, a pointer or anything and the interpretation of the sign is the signified. The signified is the mental concept of the sign(signifier). Example - If the signifier is a 'LAMP' then the signified can be light or anything that you directly associate to. Also, in most cases the relation between a signifier and the signified is interrelated. When I say light, it can be re-associated to the lamp. The signified has to be relatable to the signifier.

[@FallyingHigh]

Cool. I love it! Lot's of things I didn't know. How is semiotics used when discussing it? Do we just refer to the three types or use the word semiotics? I mostly use the three types interchangeably in conversation so having seen this video and knowing their differences is awesome. Subscribed :D

[@occamsanswers8178]

Great question! Semiotics is the whole field of study, like linguistics or physics. If you want to refer to all three types (icon, index, and symbol) at the same time, you can call it a "sign". That's the general term for something that stands for, represents, or indicates something else. Thanks for watching!

[@footlong7980]

So... Icon= similie or metaphor Index= implication of meaning Symbol= contextual representation

[@thehijabi6146]

best channel ever

[@RealMcDudu]

Great video!

[@AkashThomas99]

Loved this

[@najarvis]

Interesting to note that machines are getting pretty good at interpreting human signs, from indexes like facial cues to symbols like recognizing pictures. If the ability to interpret symbols is what separates the living from the non-living, are computers a form of life?

[@Markolio95]

awesome job! keep up the great work

[@miguelmeloqueiroz3553]

Signs and Symbols are not the same thing in psychology contexts. Here "Sign" includes the 3 categories but not in Jungian psychology, a sign has a fixed (conventional) universal meaning like a STOP sign, whereas a symbol is a signifier of an intuitive idea with a mix of personal subjective meaning and universal Archetypal meaning. Also, animals also use signs... Not just humans. They are simply not signs made by humans... They are made by themselves. Humans understand signs made by humans... But fail to understand several signs used by other animals.

[@lol9600]

can you explain what geosemiotics is?

[@Tianatales]

I feel like it's basically the stuff we feel, the things we don't think about and just do/think/see

So animals don't interpret semiotics but what would something like pavlovs dog be an example of?

[@54baxers]

Animals do interpret semiotics. How else would we be able to communicate with them? When I make a happy face they can sense my happy feelings.
