Models of SIGN-1/ C.S.Pierce Model


3 Models : Studies how signs signify or derive meaning.

C.S.Pierce Model
Ogden and Richard Model
Ferdinand d Saussure Model

Sign has 3 elements: 1.Sign( could be anything: pictorial, word etc.)
                                          2.Which it refer.(Object or external reality, associated with sign )
                                         3. User of Sign.( Interpretant or person using it)





C.S.Pierce Model

According to this model , A sign is something which stands to somebody in some respect or capacity.
Here, in this model  three elements of sign : sign, object and interpret ant, are represented in a Triangle......in fig, 

that are closely related to each other and share equatorial relation. 

where the interpretation is based on the mental concepts which the user has based on his experiences, beliefs or convention. Thus it is not fixed, hence social and psychological differences exist.

SIGN


Are human constructs and can only be understood in terms of the uses people put them to. 

for example the pics below: 

each and every pic represent something, like Toilet sign of Men and Women, Victory sign, Physical handicap sign, all these are human construct,  and we are deriving meaning from these signs because we learned the use of these  since our birth.

The Study of signs and the way they work is called Semiotics or Semiology.

In Semiotics models make no distinction between encoder and decoder .  here decoding is seen as active and creative as encoding unlike in Models of Communication
In  Semiotics, communication is not seen as merely a process going through stages, but concentrate on structured set of relationships which enable a message  to signify something,   that means, communication is seen as generation of meanings in message whether by encoder or decoder. Thus it focuses on texts and receiver .

Here receiver is seen as playing more active role and is known as Reader. The reader helps to create the meaning of the text by bringing to it his or her experience , attitude and emotion.

Semiotics Studies areas: Culture, Codes, Signs





Codes: Systems into which signs are organized. It covers the ways that a variety of codes have developed in order to meet the needs of society or culture or to exploit the channels of communication.

Culture: Under which both codes and signs are operate.
For example: Western World and Asian world are two different cultures, and under this they have their own codes (rules) which are being followed that can be showcased in any behavior ( sign )

 Questions 46-50 based on comprehensive passage.
Psychoanalytic theory tells us that the human psyche is divided into three spheres: consciousness, precociousness, and the unconsciousness. Although Freud might not have discovered the unconsciousness, it is fair to say that he was aware of its significance and used it in his work to an unprecedented degree. He offers a classic description of the unconsciousness in his essay, ‘One of the difficulties of Psychoanalysis.’
It was then, and still is, difficult for many people to recognize that there can be contents of their minds of which they are unaware. The three levels of the psyche (Freud’s topographic hypothesis) can be represented by an iceberg. The top of the iceberg, which we all see, is consciousness. The part of the iceberg five or six feets below the waterline, which we can dimly make out, is the preconscious. And the part of the iceberg, below the line, which cannot be seen, is the unconscious. It makes up most of the iceberg and, it is important to recognize, the human psyche.
According to Freud, all of our experiences are stored in the unconscious and have an effect on our minds and behaviour. Psychoanalytic criticism suggests that works of art resonate with this unconscious material in our minds. It is likely, psychoanalytic critics suggest, that works of art send messages, in hidden and rather mysterious ways, from the unconscious of creative artists to the unconscious of people who are the audience for their works.
If the people found the idea of an unconscious difficult, they found Freud’s notion of the Oedipus complex outrageous. And it still is a very controversial matter as scholars in many fields argue about whether it exists or was just a fantastic notion of Freud’s. He believed that we all experience, when we are young children (around the age of 3), oedipal strivings. That is, we all desire to have the undivided attention and love of our parent of the opposite sex. Freud called this phenomenon the Oedipus complex because it resembled in important ways the myth of Oedipus, the Greek hero who unwittingly killed his father and married his mother.
Although this theory is very controversial, it is interesting to notice how useful it is in dealing with works of art. The Oedipus complex has been used by critics to interpret everything from King Kong to the James Bond stories and films.
