Q & A
1. What is the difference between a sign and symbol? A. The difference between a symbol and a sign is that a symbol can be a deeper and more complex meaning than a sign. A sign is an indicator or marker for something very specific.
2. What are the three elements of the "symbolic relationship (the blue triangle of meaning")? A. Symbol, Referent and You!
3. Is a word a sign or a symbol? (Why?) A. Words are symbols. For example we all have a symbol, our name. It's a way to refer us. When a teacher calls your name out you automatically know its you personally (but then again your last name is needed when another person has the same name as you).
4. Describe one natural sign that you've seen in the world. A. Smoke.
5. Describe one symbol you've seen in the world. What did it stand for? How did you know what it meant? A. Our Sun. Throughout history its meant strength, life and influence. It's also our light to see from the dark. Teachers have taught us the meaning of the sun for a long time.
