I didn´t really expect to laugh when watching such a video so I spilled all of my pasta on my keyboard because I was laughing so hard at that grandma "Oh, fiddlesticks". Niiice vid
The general idea is quite ok. I'll have to disagree, however, with the example of the 'stop' sign. It can possibly be argued to belong to a symbolic category rather than 'pure sign'. Although it's correct to say that the relationship between the signified and signifier is an arbitrary one it does not necessarily means it's a conscious (or communal) decision. The 'stop' road sign - with its representative red colour may suggest 'danger' which might lead to blood (again red). Cheers :)
The only video, that helped me understand this stupid theory. I swear this is so dumb... People like Saususse just had nothing better to do than separate ideas of things like sign to confuse students centuries later
in that context the circle filled in with the colour red, at that particular junction signifies to the observer that that the signifier STOP is a special type of STOP .E.g it is so detached its almost superfluous to have sigificance as a word,it becomes more a shape whereas an anti war sign stuck at same height on a building "STOP the war",STOP means something .That sentence without stop would lose its context a red circle without stop could still function even with a set alien lines/marks
I'm just starting to study semiotics at university (it's my first subject lol) AND THE TEACHER showed us a presentation with this video and I'm in love with thissss.
theres something synesthestic about STOP in this context almost as if we automatically associate a red circle with 'that' STOP,(the word STOP is a red circle).
I don't get it. I'm not a student, but it seems to me that the STOP sign does not necessarily mean "stop because you might hit another car". A STOP sign only says that you must stop there, it doesn't imply "because you might hit something". If a STOP sign implied "Stop because you might hit something", then no cop would give you ticket if you just run through the STOP sign when there is no pedestrian or automotive traffic at all. In fact, even in those circumstances, the cop will usually give you a ticket.
joeschultz2 that's the point. The signifier is the sign telling you to stop, the signified is the implication that, if you don't stop, you may hit something.
I agree. I don't think the signified is the possibility of a calamity beyond the object of the stop sign. The signified is the idea of stopping, or that of stillness, the action of the car ceasing movement.

Just kidding, thanks for the short and informative guide ;-)
thank you so much, finally i got the idea to do my assignments . oh god thanks
Love it. It's simple and most people would relate to it. Nothing too detailed. Good job.
My university teacher made us watch this video in class in order to understand de Saussure 😂 It was so helpful thx so much! Great job 👍

it really helps in my communication studies assignment, thank you!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MUCHO GRACIAS
I'm still so confused about what sign means. More specifically the diffence between the signified and sign.

Really helped with my essay at university! Recommend this video!
Oh, I wish you were my Linguistics teacher 😂
this made it really easy to understand the semiotic system. thank you so much 😁
When someone says "hello" or "no" or "and", the sound of each word is the signifier right? What is the signified for each word?
theres something synesthestic about STOP in this context almost as if we automatically associate a red circle with 'that' STOP,(the word STOP is a red circle).
So u said the said the sign says stop, and it is the signifier in this situation???
I couldn't for the life of me remember how to discern the signifier from the signified. Now I can. Thank you!
Very beneficial, Very funny! and I very thank You @ohlookitsleah
