Abstract
The term signifier is used in linguistics to denote an element resulting from the combination of a signified or concept with a signifier or auditory image; more generally, it means “an element that shows something other than itself”. Semiotics is seen as a field of various debates from Saussure to the present day. Attention is drawn to the fact that no definite rules have yet been established regarding the internal functioning of this field of study and there are issues on which no agreement can be reached. On the other hand, there is a considerable literature produced in the field by writers such as R. Barthes, P. Guiraud and C. S. Peirce. Using this combination, the main discussion topics in the field of semiotics will be conveyed. It started with the indicator, which is one of the three basic concepts of semiotics. After dealing with the basic concepts of semiotics (indicator, indicated and signified), the principles that form the theoretical basis of semiotics and some related discussions can be mentioned. It should be noted right away that all the principles discussed below are principles adapted from linguistics to semiotics.
