The SEMIOTIC TRIANGLE

DEFINITION

The semiotic triangle is used to study meaning, which is the process by which any object is transformed into a sign.

Symbol−Thought−REFERENT

1.- The symbol represents the word itself.

2.- The reference: It's the idea that comes to mind when we say a word.

3.- The referent: It's the physical object that represents the signified and signifier.

EXAMPLE

Reference:

Symbol: Parrot

Referent: A parrot

THE RESEARCHES

The semiotic triangle is a model of how linguistic symbols relate to the objects they represent. The triangle was published in The Meaning of Meaning (1923) by Charles Ogden and Ivor Richards.
