Symbol is known as a form in which the signifier does not resemble the signified but which is basically random. For an example, language in general, numbers, Morse code, traffic lights, national flags and many more.
Icon is a form in which the signifier is perceived as resembling the signified which means it is being similar in possessing some of its qualities. For an example, a portrait, a cartoon, sound effects in radio drama, a dubbed film soundtrack and many more.
Index is a mode in which the signifier is not random but is directly connected in some way; physically or causally to the signified. This can be observed in the 'natural signs’ such as smoke, thunder, footprints, echoes, non-synthetic odours and flavours. Medical symptoms, measuring, and recordings are also some of the examples under indexical.

ReplyDeleteterm that is used to relate it with the particular visual/sign in non directly manner.
The example is 'Beware of Vicious Dog' sign. The sign does not really tell that there is a dog near the sign,but as a reminder to be careful with the vicious dog.
