'Semiotics is a tradition of thought known for calling attention to the formal structures of signification in culture. In so far as it can be used to reveal the arbitrary or constructed character of the meanings we use in our everyday lives, semiotics is also a form of social criticism.'
Symbolic: 'Something that serves as a symbol for that attempting to be signified.'
Iconic: 'Something that resembles or imitates the signified.'
Indexical: 'Something directly connected to the signifier.'
